Week 11 Review: I’m slowly but surely getting back to decency. Except for the biggest 10 games. I’m hopeless in that regard.

Week 12 Preview: This is a weak week if you’ll pardon the phrase. There are 6 true rivalry games but 4 SEC teams are playing FCS teams. As for me, I’m really worried because these picks are really rushed. No comments this week.
