Staff Picks recap: Oh how the mighty have fallen. After a great first four weeks, the Daily’s football beat has, well, struggled, in the past two. Scott Bell topped everyone once again – his fourth time with that distinction already this season. He only managed to go .500 for the week, though. Everyone else was below that number, including returning guest picker Chad Gerencer, who won’t be returning next week after a 9-15 performance. Daniel Bromwich was the only picker to get his best bet right this week.
Gerencer’s departure means it’s time for someone new to step in. Want to take your best shot at besting a bunch of wannabee prognosticators? E-mail the group at footballbeat07@umich.edu to get your name entered in the pool of potential applicants. If you can best two of the writers when picking against the spread, you’ll stay for another week.
