This season’s regulars are Dewain Hendrixson, Scott Brown, Scott Goodwin, Chad Kirby, the James Gang (Grant and Jeff James), Ricky Atnip, John Pryor, The Gill Gang (Darrell, Eli or Noah Gill), and Alex Woodward.
The “Fearless Forecasters” pick who they believe will win in fourteen of the biggest or most interesting college football games of the week along with the Tennessee Titans games.
They also make an underdog selection each week.
The Fearless Forecaster with the best record and most underdog points is awarded at the end of the season.
Ricky Atnip will be looking to defend his 2023 title as the WJLE Fearless Forecaster of the year. During the college football season in 2023 including bowl games, Ricky compiled the overall best record picking winners in 253 games at 171-82. He was back-to-back winner in 2022 and 2023. For the third year in a row, Atnip also accumulated the most underdog points during the season at 67 points in 2023. Ricky was presented the “WJLE Fearless Forecasters Joe Goodwin Memorial Awards” during last year’s season finale show in January. He is sponsored on the show by the Charles D. Atnip Realty & Auction Company.
The program is sponsored by DeKalb County Ace Hardware, FirstBank, Middle Tennessee Natural Gas, Love-Cantrell Funeral Home, DeKalb County Insurance, Gill Automotive, the Charles D. Atnip Realty & Auction Company, Wilson Bank & Trust, and Domino’s Pizza.
