Week 12 CFB picks ATS

Alright, another 3-2 (really only because of less than intelligent officials for the PSU game, but moving on....), but still in last so need to improve and running out of time.  Let's get to it. 

Missouri -5.5 vs Syracuse.  Hard to predict either of these squads, so what am I doing?  Well, I think the Tigers have hit their stride a bit and are playing with some confidence.  Pretty surprising, but their D has been solid all season and now their offense is at least not awful, which helps.  I think they are fired up at home and want to get to 6 wins to secure a 6 win season in their first in the SEC.  I just can't see the Orange traveling and playing well in a tough environment.  3 units.

USC -3 vs UCLA.  Tough to bet on USC, but they have enough weapons (for sure) and have owned the Bruins.  Don't expect a lot of D from either side, but that is ok, the Trojans should be able to move up and down the field pretty regularly if they don't turn it over (never safe though).  2 units.

Oregon / Stanford OVER 65.  Is Oregon playing?  At home?  Ok, so they will be pushing 50 points as the Cardinal never has the athletes to keep pace, and this year is certainly no different as the Ducks are just explosive!  65 points is a lot, but this will be a track meet.  Go O!!  4 units.

Ohio State +2 @ Wisconsin.  Wisconsin has not been able to run the ball against decent to good run defenses and the Buckeyes certainly qualify there.  Wisconsin certainly can't win if they have to throw, so I think they are in a bit of a tough spot here.  They are at home and OSU is not up to par just yet, but I still think they get it done on the road with a few big plays.  3 units.

Northwestern +7 @ MSU.  Yep, going back to the Smarties.  They are coming off a tough loss, but I think they will look to the positive, they should have beat Michigan in the Big House.  They are a solid football team and the Spartans are SO one dimensional that I think they will be able to make it tough for Bell to beat them.  Getting 7 seems like some solid value against an underachieving MSU squad.  2 units. 

There you have it.  In end of a big week, let's see if this will get it done.  Good luck all.
