It is Week 16 in the NFL, and bowl season has officially begun in college football. It would be a tremendous week for a show from the ever-popular Scott Van Pelt, but he has tested positive for COVID-19 so there is no show. Nevertheless, it is still quite the weekend for football betting.
When SVP returns, his “SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt” is one of the most popular shows on late-night television. Each week, he gives his “Winner$” in a segment where he covers CFB and NFL betting picks against the spread. At ActionRush, we have tracked his picks for the last two years. While SVP is not an expert by any means (self-admittedly), he has provided some good picks over time.
SVP did not have any picks last week, and with it being Christmas week this week he likely will not have picks again combined with his recovery from coronavirus. There will not be a show, but SVP could always post picks on his twitter account.
SVP College Football Picks – Bowl Games
Won’t be doing shows for a bit after a positive Covid-19 test. Thankfully, no fever & I feel fine. Just can’t smell or taste anything which was my clue to go get a test.
So, I will hunker down and hopefully can be back at it before too long.

For Christmas week, SVP does not have a show to list his winners. He is still out with COVID-19, but there likely would not have been a show on Christmas Eve either way. For NFL picks, check out the NFL odds page.
