ATS: Southbound and Down Readers Pick the Games (Rivalry Week)
Picking games isn’t easy. Making picks against the spread (ATS) is even more difficult. After seeing the staff here at Southbound and Down have some up and down weeks, readers made their voices heard about how much better they could do. And they shined in their first opportunity to do so.
The two weeks after that, however, have showed many of our readers just how hard picking these games can be. Readers had an 8-4 record in their first two weeks of picking, giving no real reason for concern even after a subpar week 2. And then readers got their third try.
1-6. No one was going to talk trash, though, unless your name is Ryan Summers. Of everyone picking games that week, only he was able to have a decent pick ’em.
So how did readers do in their 4th week? It seems ya’ll have settled in for the long haul, having gone 5-5 in week 12 (more on that below). Think you can do better? Join us in the SEC Football Pick ‘Em (ATS).
A reminder of how things work in this pick ‘em:
While individual picks will not make the article, the results from the reader’s polls will be included in our standings. We’ll make polls available for all of the SEC games and you, the reader, can select the winner and whether or not they’ll cover the spread. Then the following week we’ll update how the fans did in picking the games and include them in our standings.
