7th Annual SECRant ATS Picks - Week 1 (CUTOFF 6:00 EST TONIGHT)

Hello again, and welcome to this year's ATS (Against The Spread for the noobs) SECRant picks. This was started several years ago by Doc Fenton, carried on by TheMightyTerrier, and has now fallen in my lap.

The rules have changed slightly from last year, in that I am raising the minimum selections from 30 to 40. If you do not have 40 total picks by the end of the year, you will be disqualified.

Please follow the same format of bolding your picks. It will help me log the results easier. You can follow mine below for an example.

I will post the thread each week on Tuesday or Wednesday and the lines will be locked in at that point. All posts must be done by kickoff of the first game. If there is a Thursday game, it's a Thursday deadline. If all games are on Saturday, obviously it's a Saturday deadline. Any edits to your post after the deadline will result in all of your picks being voided. I will try to post the results and standings by Monday following the weekend.

First team listed is the favorite by whatever amount is shown. All caps designates who is home team. You do not have to pick all the games. You do not have to pick any. Pick as many as you feel comfortable with, but make sure you get 40 by the end of the season. In the event of a push, the pick will be voided obviously. Matchups against FCS opponents will not be included.
