580 Sports Talk’s Football Picks, Presented by Prairie Band Sportsbook – Weekend of Nov. 9-10, 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 bounced back from his 0-5 disaster to post the lone winning week, at 3-2. Spencer went 2-3. Both gained ground on Dan, who had his worst week of the season so far, going 1-4.
The 580 Sports Talk Football Picks Contest is sponsored by Prairie Band Sportsbook – Bet Your Way!

Dan Lucero
CFB: Colorado at Texas Tech +4
*LOCK OF THE WEEK*
“I love getting more than a field goal with Tech here, on a national stage for the tortilla-throwing rowdies in Lubbock. The Red Raiders have the close game magic back that they captured in Joey McGuire’s first season in 2022. They’ll keep this one close, too.” — DL

*LOCK OF THE WEEK*
“I like CJ Stroud. I like Houston. I hate this matchup for them. Even if Nico Collins is able to go for the offense, Will Anderson might not and I think they would struggle defensively even with him. This Lions team is a juggernaut right now and I think they’ll win big on the road.” — BD
