Happy Thanksgiving and Black Friday to all! Time has flown by during football season, both college and pro. We are in Week 13 of the college football season, and Week 12 of the NFL campaign. After two NFL Thanksgiving games and some CFB action, the bulk of the action will still be taking place in the final weekend of November. As we do each week at ActionRush, we detail ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt’s “Winner$” from his segment on Thursday evenings. To date, SVP is 32-27-1 across both sports.
Scott Van Pelt is not a professional handicapper, and he will be the first to admit it. But his “Winner$” segment is one of the more entertaining in the sports media space. In addition, he has had some success this season being five games over .500.
Last week, SVP was 3-2 in CFB and 1-0 in NFL for a 4-2 total record. For the season, this brings him to 32-27-1. Let’s take a look at this week.
SVP College Football Picks – Week 13
Unfortunately with Thanksgiving week, it looks to be that SVP had the night off on SportsCenter. This is where his CFB picks would be, but there are no picks on Thanksgiving week. With that said, there was still some terrific content from SVP this week, including some incredible “bad beats” as you can see here.
The worst week of Bad Beats this football season. Many have called it, an All time edition.
Enjoy.
