Eleven weeks into the NFL season Colin and Reidy are once again tied in their annual NFL pickoff VS the spread. Colin entered the week up by two picks but Reidy gained ground. He went 8-4-2 on the week to Colin's 6-6-2. The fellahs share a record of 76-74-5 on the season.

Colin is the emcee of the South Stands Denver Fancast and maintains our Twitter and Facebook accounts.
