During the 2024 football season on Glenn Clark Radio, we continue the tradition of being held accountable for our flawed opinions. Glenn, Griffin, Paul Valle III, Kyle Ottenheimer, Jon Proctor, Ken Zalis, Ryan Chell, John Keller, Jeremy Conn and two newcomers–Joe Serpico and James Revere–choose the nine most interesting games of the week’s football slate and make their picks against the spread, three College Football games, six NFL games. Oh, and our friend Andrew Stetka is of course back for this season, he knows the rules, the only way out is to win the league, or SPECTACULARLY avoid losing. We will pick six of the top NFL games this weekend and three of the top College Football games.

Like always, the loser at season’s end will pay the ultimate penalty… Death!… Not actually, but one day we’ll get that approved. The 2024 Football season Loser will be punished under a Brazilian-themed umbrella with the NFL opening up in Brazil next weekend. The punishment for our ultimate loser is as follows: get a Brazilian–being waxed on-air, consume a Brazilian delicacy–Cuscuz Paulista–which just looks absolutely horrifying, the loser will also have to perform “Copacabana” and “Rio” by Duran Duran. And also absorb four strikes of some kind from our friend, former MMA fighter and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, John Rallo.

Thanks to the quirks of this week’s College Football and NFL schedule, we did the four College Football Playoff games today on GCR and the rest of the week’s NFL Week 18 slate will come out as normal during Thursday’s show:
