So we learned some things from Week 1.
Apparently Purdue and Rutgers are better than we thought. The same could be said about Maryland, which made a mockery of the 18 points it was given on the road at Texas.
The Week 1 lines were tricky, and as a result, picking against the spread was pretty tricky, too. We didn’t fare so well (only Garrett Kroeger finished with a winning record), but it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Here were the standings from out Week 1 picks against the spread:
- Garrett Kroeger: 8-5
- Connor O’Gara: 6-7
- Dustin Scutte: 5-8
Here’s hoping for some better picks against the spread in Week 2:
