🎵Guess what’s back, back again. Picks are back, tell a friend! 🎵 That’s right, football season is upon us and with it is the annual Glenn Clark Radio Picks league where we continue the tradition of being held accountable for our flawed opinions! (at least I guess, because Glenn still hasn’t been punished for losing last season…)
A familiar group re-enters the arena, no newcomers and all 12 men from a season ago holdover into 2025: Glenn, Griffin, Paul Valle III, Kyle Ottenheimer, Jon Proctor, Ken Zalis, Ryan Chell, John Keller, Jeremy Conn, Joe Serpico and James Revere. James is our reigning champion, but the real purpose of this exercise is to avoid losing and coming in dead last. This year’s punishment will entail a play on the ‘24-hour game’ in which the loser will have to spend 24 hours in the establishment of one of our PressBox partners, and chances to shave off time by completing various tasks or consuming certain foods. And for our friend Andrew Stetka–who so badly wants out of the league–understanding of the rules, the only way out is to win the league, or SPECTACULARLY avoid losing.
A refresher on how the game works, the game will select 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, We will pick six of the top NFL games this weekend and three of the top College Football games.
No NFL this week, so we pick six games from a stacked Week 1 College Football slate:
