8th Annual SECRant ATS Picks (PICKS LOCKED)

Welcome, to the 8th annual SECRant ATS (Against the Spread) Picks. I know I've only been here for a little over a year, but I believe this is a very popular yearly activity that was originally started by Doc Fenton, and was continued on by TheMightyTerrier and NorthGwinnettTiger.

It's just 4 days before the regular season starts so I thought someone should take over the job (NorthGwinnett I'd be more than happy to give you back the job if you'd like).

Last year the minimum amount of picks was 40, so we'll stay with that. Please bold your picks for me. I'll post the thread each week on either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday and the picks will be locked at the start of the first game of the week. If you edit anything after the first game starts, your picks for that week (and possibly for the entire year) will be void. I'll attempt to post the standings by either Sunday or Monday.

The first team listed is always the team that is favored, and the team that is in all Caps is the home team. I am going to use Sportsbook.ag for the lines (please let me know if y'all always use something else).

You do not have to pick every game each week, but you must end up with 40 total for the season. FCS games will not be included. If there is a push on the line, the game will not count.
