Only two weeks remain in The Blackout's regular-season college football pick'em contests, and both Thomas Black and Alan Denton find themselves within reach of landing prizes - TB on the ATS side; AD on the Confidence side. Both guys are looking at a Week 13 slate that has some high-chaos potential, and they're hoping to spin up some Black Magic before Championship Week approaches.
This week's picks (22:03) find some common ground with ATS Locks in Notre Dame (+5.5) at USC and Confidence Value Picks in Notre Dame-USC & Air Force at San Diego State.

UPDATE: Since the recording of this episode the Virginia-Coastal Carolina game has been canceled, following the UVA-campus shooting that left 3 Cavalier players dead and 2 more people injured, including one more Virginia player. In case you have not heard of the devastating news from the University of Virginia campus, Thomas Black and Alan Denton share as best they can what happened Sunday night in Charlottesville during this episode.
Week 11 was not too kind to either TB or AD in the ATS & Confidence Pick'em slates, but that's not slowing them down as we hit the stretch run of the season. This week, you'll find breakdowns of matchups (24:01) with ATS Locks in TCU (-2.5) at Baylor & Ohio State (-27.5) at Maryland. They follow that up with Confidence Value Picks in TCU-Baylor & USC at UCLA.
Additionally, hold on to the end of the episode for details on new perks that are coming soon for ALL Patreon supporters (Season-Ticket Holders, plus every other tier).
