College Football, Next Friday, and How You Can Play

Next Friday afternoon, our customary college football bets will return in writing. Mallory (host of The Staredown), Greg and TD (hosts of Takin' On Sports), and me, Blaine (host of Taking It Down), will give our best ideas on which games are worth a dollar or five. Plus, once the NFL begins a week later, we try to make our money back with a game from the pros.

Curious as to how our last season played out? Here are the last of our picks from the 2024 season.

And if you'd like to get in on the action, both The Alabama Take and one of our podcasts Takin' On Sports have ways for you to play. There are two, and all are welcome to play both versions. The Alabama Take does encourage you to use a name that's recognizable. Winners are awarded something!

The Alabama Take hosts the usual College Pick 'Em each year that has players pick the winners and rank the games in the confidence that they have on who will win.

Takin' On Sports, being our resident sports experts, push the limits with the pick 'em against the spread. Guessing winners and losers won't cut it there. It's about covering or beating the spread.

See you all back in this spot next Friday.
