Important instructions:

>>> Our 10 picks in the table above are made “against the spread.” For example, if one of our staffers predicts Nebraska to beat Colorado 35-31, Colorado may still be listed in the table because they predict a Nebraska win but don’t believe the Huskers will cover the spread (which in this case is -7.5 points). For those who don't know how ATS picks work, follow this link for a complete overview!

>>> The spreads are determined every week on Thursday. Every employee had to take the same spread into account.

>>> Scoring system: 1 point in the season standings for each correct selection, 1 bonus point for correctly selecting an upset, 1 bonus point for predicting the exact result + the winner of the Nebraska game.
