Week 12 Football Picks

Last week wasn’t so bad as I went over .500 on my NCAA picks by going with my gut and as little reason as possible. The NFL is a different story, but that league is a crapshoot anyway, so let’s stick with it. No time for explanations on these picks as I’m on my way to Amherst this weekend to watch UMass’ last home game in the MAC. And besides, this is the only explanation I need for these picks:

Michigan (-3) @ Penn State

Purdue (+22) @ Iowa

Miami (+3) vs Georgia Tech

Clemson (-28) vs Wake Forest

LSU (+6) @ Ole Miss

Michigan State (+14) @ Ohio State

UCLA (+1.5) @ Utah

USC (+4.5) @ Oregon

Auburn (-33) vs Idaho

Arkansas (-5) vs Mississippi State
