Week 12 Review: Wow, what a week! You know, every year there is one week that looks tame and ends up being crazy. Not always as crazy as week 12 but still. As for me, I survived and now I’m back over .500 (barely) for the season.
Week 13 Preview: There are 54 games this week and none are against FCS teams. Rivalry Week is split up into about 4 weeks now, but this is the biggest of those weeks. So there will be 20 “biggest” games this week. I do this every year but it’s particularly convenient this season because I’m 16 games under .500 ATS in the biggest 10 games. Unfortunately I’m unable to include comments again this week. This is disappointing for me because it’s my favorite week of the college football season. Also, these picks are rushed again this week and I barely survived last week’s rushed picks.
