College football lovers and tailgate MVPs, it’s time to take the Week 8 6-0 Challenge presented by Joe vs. the Pro and the Hero.
It’s the fast-growing game-day tradition that everyone can play, but only the college football geniuses win.
It’s been a dizzying two weeks of football. Last week the entries poured in for the 6-0 Challenge, but we only had one winner. Two weeks, we didn’t have a single player hit the parlay. It’s a bewitching football season built only for the brave, but we sally forth together into the great unknown.
I reached out to last week’s winner to congratulate him on his big win. He entered his name as “d” on his form. Turns out “d” is for Dennis, and Dennis is now a SPORTS! Happy Hour legend for correctly picking all those underdogs from Week 7.
Joe and the Hero went 2-4 against the spread last week. The Pro came in at a cool 4-2.
It’s been a tough season for Joe. To make matters worse, he’s riding with the Ramblin’ Wreck this week over Notre Dame and Alabama over Tennessee.
In the 15 years of Joe vs. the Pro and Hero in its various forms, Joe has gone 6-0 only twice over 15 years. He’s not too bright, but he loves interacting with readers. Everyone who goes 6-0 gets their name in the paper and is celebrated in Joe’s weekly newsletter.
Per rules of the 6-0 Challenge, an overall winner will be determined each week by the creativity of a player’s Name/Handle. If there are no winners, then everyone’s a winner because Joe goes through hundreds and hundreds of entries and picks the favorite nicknames.
It’s time to make your picks for Week 8 of the 6-0 Challenge presented by Joe vs. the Pro and the Hero.
It’s Joe vs. the Pro and Hero … vs. You!
Joe vs. the Pro and the Hero is the beloved pick’ems feature that runs every week on AL.com during the college football season. Readers can now get in on the action by making your picks against the spread, too.
