Total points: 75

Once again we are picking more favorites than underdogs (56% - 44%). The most popular underdog choice is Rutgers. Coming off their surprising win last week against Michigan State, the Scarlet Knights got some love from 75% of our pickers.

Other underdogs getting more picks than their opponent are Boston College, Syracuse, LSU and Louisville, all at 56%. The most popular pick was North Carolina to cover the spread against Virginia (81%). So if there is a tie at the top, it's likely to come down to the second tiebreaker, total points scored in that game.

Congratulations to Wahoowa84, our Week 9 winner with a record of 9-5, showing that his performance last week (10-6) was no fluke. Wahoowa84 edged out ChrisLords, yours truly, zibby and ShannonPanther who tied for second at 8-6. Although Wahoowa isn't eligible for the season title, having entered the fray too late, his 63% win percentage so far is impressive, considering that quo vadis at 52% (46-43) is the only other player above .500 for the season.

The Top Five in the season race are (by number of wins, since all have played the same number of games):

Wins..Player
46.....quo vadis
44.....IWokeUpThisWay
44.....panite
44.....zibby
42.....ShannonPanther

With a 7-7 record this week, Favorites held steady at 49% for the year, while we collectively have picked them to cover the spread at a 56% clip.

Kudos, Wahoowa. Let's see if you can keep up the good work as we approach the homestretch of the 2020 season.
