Big Ten and big game NCAA Football 2019 Expert Picks And Predictions For Week 12

Another week, another round of our staff picking against the odds and straight up for all the Big Ten football and big national games.

The college football calendar is turning ever so quickly, and conference games are now going to determine everything in the Big Ten and around the country. We now have true contenders, those positioning for bowl games, and those teams looking to play spoiler.

As normal, we’re predicting every Big Ten game for the week straight-up and against the spread, but since the slate is lighter with conference play being in full swing towards the end of the season, we’ll do the same for the six games deemed to be the biggest nationally each week. We’re the judge and jury on that one.

A a reminder, if there’s an *next to the pick, that means the team will win, but not cover. Also, we get our odds from BetMGM.

INSTRUCTIONS: Make your pick against the spread. For example …
– If you think Ohio State will win -3.5 over Michigan: OSU
– If you think Ohio State will win outright: OSU
– If you think Ohio State will win, but NOT cover: OSU*
– If there’s a tie, George Washington settles it via the ‘ole quarter coin-flip.

Here we go for week twelve, but first, the standings that will be updated each week after all the games. Onward we go. Just keep picking, just keep picking …
