Marshawn Lynch was the guest picker on College GameDay this week. The former California Golden Bear made the picks as the iconic program made its way to Berkley for the first time.
However, Lynch did not seem to like a pick made by one of the hosts of College GameDay, Kirk Herbstreit, and showed his disapproval with the pick by jokingly putting Herbstreit into a head lock.
The game in question was the Virginia Tech Hokies clash with the Stanford Cardinal. The Cardinal are one of the Golden Bears' rivals.
This may have been a factor in many of the other panelists' choices, who all picked Virginia Tech (who lost to the Miami Hurricanes last week on the last play of the game) to win.
However, Herbstreit went against his GameDay teammates and Lynch. He picked Stanford to get the win. Upon making his decision, Herbstreit did give his reason for choosing the Cardinal over the stronger Hokies team.
"I'm going to save the graphic."
"Saving the graphic" in this context related to at least one member of the College GameDay team picking the other team if the entire panel decides to pick the same team to win a game.
It is used to prevent the graphic being used against them by fans if their unanimous pick to win the game actually loses.
However, Herbstreit has already felt the wrath of Marshawn Lynch and a crowd of Golden Bears fans present at the taping for his decision to pick the rival of the school.
Who did Marshawn Lynch pick in the California-Miami game?
Another game that was subject to be predicted by Marshawn Lynch and the College GameDay team was the California Golden Bears' clash with the number-eight ranked Miami Hurricanes.
This game was the reason why the program was at UC Berkley, and it is set to be a good game between the Golden Bears and Hurricanes, who have star quarterback Cam Ward leading them.
As for the picks, Desmond Howard, Kirk Herbstreit, and former Alabama Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban picked the Hurricanes for victory.
However, Pat McAfee and unsurprisingly Lynch chose the Golden Bears to deliver a shock upset against one of the strongest teams in the ACC.
While the panellists were split on this game, the bookmakers are not. Fanduel has the Hurricanes as 10.5-point favorites.
