Five picks I like and one fade, the game where I think the crowd has it wrong. That’s Five and a Fade, and I explain it in 36 seconds.

Here’s the deal. Every week I give you five picks across college football and the NFL, with plenty of Tennessee mixed in. Then comes the fade: the one game where everybody’s piling on one side and I think they’re wrong. That’s the fun part. Being right when the crowd is wrong is the best feeling in sports.

One pick a week also gets the Bama Hat Guarantee. If it loses, I wear an Alabama hat. For a Vols fan, there’s no worse punishment, and yes, you’ll get the photo.

Every result goes up here, wins and losses alike. When we’re hot, we’ll celebrate. When we get killed, we’ll roast ourselves first. No VIP packages, no paid picks, nothing for sale. It’s all free, every week.

This week’s picks are already up: the NFL Week 8 Five and a Fade and the college Five and a Fade. And our new Top 10 ranks résumés, not reputations. More videos are on the Video page.
