Sure, healthy, wealthy and wise... I am 43-44-2 as we launch week 12. Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances.Army @ Rutgers –17
Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, comes in at 5-5, the Black Knights of Army are 3-7, 1-3 on the road. Rutgers has had a very average season against much better opposition than the Army has faced. 17 looks a little tall on the spread, but you gotta play to win.
Illinois –2.5 @ Northwestern
The book kicks the ‘Cats in the pride once again. NU is 8-3, the Illini are 5-6. The Sweet Sioux Tomahawk is on the line, Illinois needs another win to become bowl eligible (not necessarily bowl worthy) and Northwestern needs the win to get a better bowl. The Illini are more up and down than anyone in football, and they’re due for an up. Cheer for the Wildcats, bet on the Illini.
Pittsburgh +5 @ Cincinnatti
Here I go again, another ride on the Wannie coaster. Pitt is undefeated on the road, Cincinnatti is undefeated at home. Something’s gotta give, and since I’m leaning Cinci, I’m betting Pitt. It’s the Wannie factor.
Tennessee +3 @ Vanderbilt
“The Vanderbilt Commodores”. Sounds impressive and snotty, doesn’t it? Tennessee is 3-7 with no road wins. Vandy started their season 5-0, then lost four in a row before beating Kentucky last week. Vandy’s not that good, but I think Tennessee is less better, maybe more worse.
Syracuse @ University of South Bend –19.5
The Manatee’s group will, for this Saturday, ring down the thunder (pause) from the sky and quell all the buyout rumors. Syracuse stinks, South Bend will be rockin’, as it celebrates the beginning of six months of winter in northern Indiana.
Reminisce about that.Texas Tech @ Oklahoma –7
This is going to be a great football game. The Sooner Schooner is one of the coolest mascots in the world, and they have contortionist cheerleaders. I’m taking Oklahoma, OK.
Michigan State +14 @ Penn State
I have problems predicting Penn State. There’s going to a several million people in the stands at Happy Valley, it’s going to be cold, Michigan State has a history of losing big games, JoePa is a legend, everything says Penn State. I say MSU.
Boise State –6 @ Nevada
Boise State needs to rock somebody's world without the blue field.
Idaho @ Hawaii –23.5
Two Gun Pete made this a Pete’s Perfect Pick. Go with it!
