ATS picks for all games are evaluated against the first available spread, with pick'em games treated as a one point spread for this purpose only because there are no ties in college football.
Once again I'll be keeping track of games where my methods indicate a particularly good chance of a correct pick against the pointspread. Picks against early spreads (basically the first spread available after I complete these ratings) are the ARGH Early Bird Picks, and are listed below. Picks against spreads (generally Wednesday or later during the season) that have moved to a favorable number are ARGH Buzzer Beater Picks, and will be posted when available.
ARGH Early Bird Picks this week are:

(*Above results count the Wisconsin-UNLV game, which was called roughly halfway through the fourth quarter due to a power outage. I'm not sure at which point of the game the casinos will pay out if the game is called early, so there may need to be an adjustment made to the ATS and over-under totals for last week.)
