580 Sports Talk’s Football Picks, Presented by Prairie Band Sportsbook – Weekend of Nov. 23-24, 2024
The football season is upon us, and we’re bringing back the Prairie Band Sportsbook 580 Sports Talk football picks contest! Each week, Dan, Brendan, and Spencer will pick two NFL games and two college football games against the spread, and also make a fifth ‘wild card’ pick that could be a spread, total, or player prop from the college or professional slate of games. They’ll also designate one pick each week as their ‘Lock of the Week’. We’ll track their records throughout the season and crown a champion.
Last week, Brendan was the only member of the crew to post a winning week, coming in at 3-2. Spencer just missed out, going 2-3, and Dan hit his lock but no other picks and went 1-4, barely maintaining his lead in the standings.
The 580 Sports Talk Football Picks Contest is sponsored by Prairie Band Sportsbook – Bet Your Way!
