How’d we do for week one?
Throughout the conference season, we’ll be tracking both straight up and against the spread picks for individual staff members. We’ll also have results for staff consensus picks.
As the season progresses, we’ll also have more information on who the trendy picks are against the spread, and who’s been picking them well.
Everyone whiffed on New Mexico vs. Nevada straight-up and that quite possibly will not just be the biggest upset in the Mountain West this year but likely one of the most shocking results in all of college hoops.
