Wait,

Solomon picked Arkansas to win straight up, but he picked Bama against the spread. How exactly does that work?

They're the "safe" pick because they're at home and haven't flirted with disaster nearly as much as we have. But it's a relatively evenly matched game.

Jon Solomon picked Arkansas straight up, but also picked Alabama to cover 13.5 points.

I think we're going to lose but in dudes defense he's 81-21 which isn't bad at all.


Picking 80% of top 25 games correctly isn't really that good. You would likely do that or better just picking the favorite each week. The majority of these games with top 25 teams have point spreads of 10 or more and are fairly easy picks. There are only a few each week that are tough picks.

Well that's fine, I'm not arguing the guy is good. Someone said 'he was the worst' or to that effect of the ones listed, well hells bells the 'best' one has only 4 games on him.

Looks like a dose of reality is setting in for the Vols.

Yeah, none of these "experts" are substantially better at picking games than the other. In fact none of them are substantially better at picking games than the average SECRant poster.
