2026 Staff Pick’em Week 7 – Anchor Of Gold

I have brought dishonor on myself, my family, and my cow.
Everyone point and laugh at the idiot who went 1-7. The only game he got right was picking Ole Miss over our Commodores. I am the idiot. Everyone else did well. The Commentariat and Import did go 3-5, but that is only 1 game off even. Cole, Andrew, and Christian were right at .500. Tom had the edge for the week at 5-3. That means the staff was 21-27 overall and is down to 236-232 on the season.
We did not have any hits better than a 4-2 split, but we did have 3 games were only 1 person had the right pick. Florida, THEM, and Texas were the big letdowns, so we were mostly glad to be wrong.
For Week 7, there are 7 SEC-SEC games while Texas A&M plays the Citadel (no spread available). The Dealer’s Choice is a religious battle between Notre Dame and BYU. Of the 8 games, there are 2 unanimous picks, 2 5-to-1 picks, 2 4-to-2, and 2 even splits. I guess that would make it hard to use any betting patten based on our picks.
All of your communities in one place.

Everyone was close even if 4 of us had a losing record in Week 5.
Nobody was a loser!
Andrew and I owe the rest of the staff an apology.
Boys, we picked like Stephen Rivers reads a wristband.
All but one of us incorrectly took Clemson, but we still collectively picked well.
Only 1 player showed much rust in Week 0…
