I’m talking specifically about [something like this](http://statsandshots.com/freaking-out-rn/) where there are 20 games picked. Couldn’t you just pick 20 games in the first few weeks of the college football season when all of the really good teams play really crappy schools? Same goes for something like college basketball. What’s the catch?

That link is incredible, but s/he is mostly picking spreads. So those teams have to win by a certain amount (if there’s a “-” in front of the number) or not lose by more than a certain amount (if there’s a “+” in front). If you were just choosing the winner, the odds are so heavily in your favor for some of those games that you’d barely make anything in return (for instance the Patriots this week had something like a -3800 moneyline, which means if you bet $3800 on the Patriots to just win, you’d earn $100).
So for the first few weeks you’d have to hope for the spreads to hold and there were plenty of games so far that didn’t come anywhere close to hitting the spread for the favorite.
