Week 13 Staff Picks

Last week due to a few upsets, our staff didn't have a very good week of picks. Matt went 1-6 while The Sports Messiah went 3-4.

This week we added Jackson McNamara to the staff as a writer, so he will be in on the picks, as well as a special guest picker that we have this week.

The Sports Messiah couldn't get his picks in until Saturday morning, so he didn't get to pick the USF vs Cincinnati game.

A lot of rivalry games this week, and a lot of solid matchups. Let's see how our staff picked them.
