MizzouRah's Picks Week XII

Posted on: November 16, 2018 at 16:45:00 CT

I suppose I am waiting to get this done on Friday because it's hard to get motivated when you are losing bets on the year

I was 1-4-2 last week ATS so I am now 32-37-3 on the year. Not good. Let's try to recover!

I"ve been very nervous about this MIZZOU (-6) game this weekend. I just feel as though, the Tennessee offense isn't THAT dynamic and MU was able to get away with a B minus type effort last week. MU has actually been better on the road. I don't love it but I'll take MIZZOU 37-27.

I just watched a pretty terrible performance by the MU basketball team. Sometimes when you keep looking bad, you probably are going to continue to struggle. That's the way I feel about K-State football right now. I see no rally for Coach Snyder from this team. Again, TEXAS TECH (-6) has a good enough third string QB to get this done. The ONLY thing that makes me nervous is I think Tech is the public play but I'll still take it.

I don't care who plays QB for Wisconsin. I am pretty high on PURDUE (-4) even after a hard to explain horrible performance recently.

MIDDLE TENNESSEE (+16) has a bit of momentum and Kentucky kind of let things slip away from them last week. Also they can't score much. Give me the points here.

I like CINCINATTI (+7) as an UPSET SPECIAL over UCF. This UCF team is not exactly what they were last year and Fickell has done a great job with Cinci. I think the pressure of GameDay gets to these guys.

I think Syracuse is quite overrated. They are getting a lot of love for almost beating a Clemson team in disarray without a QB. I hope I am wrong but I like NOTRE DAME (-10) BIG here.

While I wish MU had played better last week. VANDERBILT (-3) is a fairly complete team now that they found a great running back. Ole Miss just isn't as complete (bad defense). Give me the Commodores.

I've seen enough of this NEBRASKA (pick em) offense to like them to handle an offensively challenged Michigan State team by 7-14. I have a confession to make to my Nebraska followers on this thread. I bet UNDER 7 wins for the Huskers this year. I figured growing pains would occur and clearly they did but I think now that they have a good healthy QB and some momentum they will be MUCH more motivated to keep it going.

I'm taking UNDER 47 in Iowa State/Texas. The Big 12 suspended a star player for Iowa State right before they play (no bias in the Big 12 toward) Texas? Color me shocked but also that means a conservative ISU offense will keep it even lower scoring by controlling the clock early on.

That's all for this week! Good luck to your (non Volunteer) team!
