NCAA Football 2022 Week 12 picks

 In the past, the week after a series of upsets is much calmer with few upsets.  Let's see if that continues...

Tues Nov 15

Bowling Green Falcons at Toledo Rockets : Having already clinched their division, could Toledo relax in this game? Maybe, but I think Toledo has a point to make, so they'll still play hard.  TOLEDO by ten

Ohio Bobcats at Ball State Cardinals : Ohio knows they need to win to put themselves into position to play fot the conference title.  Ball State is out of contention, but will they play spoiler?  OHIO by eight

Wed Nov 16

Eastern Michigan Eagles at Kent State Golden Flashes : Kent State pulled off an upset last week, but this is a new week.  EASTERN MICHIGAN by 12

Miami Ohio Redhawks at Northern Illinois Huskies : It has not been Northern Illinois' year.  MIAMI OHIO by 13

Western Michigan Broncos at Central Michigan Chippewas : The Broncos are really struggling.  CENTRAL MICHIGAN by 16

Thurs Nov 17

SMU Mustangs at #24 Tulane Green Wave : Tulane needs a great game to bounce back from last week's upset.  SMU will not make that easy, but I think the Green Wave will find a way to win this.  TULANE  by six

Fri Nov 18

San Diego State Aztecs at New Mexico State Aggies : The Aztecs still have a shot at the divistion, so they wnat every win.  SAN DIEGO STATE by 20

Sat Nov 19

Top 25

#1 Ohio Sate Buckeyes at Maryland Terrapins : Can Maryland pull off the upset>  I don't think so.  OHIO STATE by 26

#2 Georgia Bulldogs at Kentucky Wildcats : Kentucky suffered an emabarrassing loss last week, and they'll get another one.  GEORGIA by 26

#22 Illinois Fighting Illini at #3 Michigan Wolverines :  It'll be three straight losses for the Illini,costing them their Top 25 position and their West division chances.  MICHIGAN by 17

#4 USC Torjans at #12 UCLA Bruins :This crosstown rivalry is always intense, and the stakes of this game makes it even more interesting.  USC needs the win to keep pace in the division, while the Bruins are coming off a costly loss.  I think the Trojans will win, but the Bruins will make it tough.  USC by four

#5 TCU Horned Frogs at Baylor Bears : After a loss last week,nothing would thrill the Bears more than to play spoiler.  They will make it rough for TCU, but I don't think they'll systain it.  TCU by eight

#6 Tennessee Volunteers at South Carolina Gamecocks : South Carolina shouldn't give Tennessee any problems.  TENN by 24

#7 Penn State Nittany Lions at Rutgers Scarlet Knights:  Easy win for the Lions.  PENN SATE by lots

#8 Utah Utes at #11 Oregon Ducks :The worst thing for the Utes may be that Oregon lost at home last week.  They will be driven to win this game, and they have the offensive power to do it.  OREGON by six

Miami Hurricanes at #10 Clemson Tigers : Clemson hits the Top Ten and aching to show why they should have been there earlier.  CLEMSON by 24

Colorado Buffaloes at #17 Washington Huskies : Unless the Huskies let themselves down after their amazing defeat of Oregon, this should be an easy win.  WASHINGTON by lots

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at #18 North Carolina Tar Heels : This game should also be one-sided and decided early.  NORTH CAROLINA by 31

#19 Cincinnati Bearcats at Temple Owls : Cincy should win this one easily, but they have been finishing much closer than they should.  CINCY by eight

#20 Texas Longhorns at Kansas Jayhawks : Texas may lose this game, as Kansas is doing very well.  However, after their tough loss last week, I think they will tighten themselves up this week.  TEXAS by four

Navy Midshipmen at #21 UCF Golden Knights : With the Knights rush defense, Navy may be shut down.  UCF by lots

#23 Duke Blue Devils at Pitt Panthers : Duke should prevail, but I think the home team will give them some difficulty.  DUKE by 13

Boston College Eagles at #25 Notre Dame Fighting Irish : The Irish have all of the advantages in this one.  NOTRE DAME by 27

Big Ten

Wisconsin Badgers at Nebraska Cornhuskers : The Badgers were crushed by Iowa last week, but they won't let that bring them down.  Wisconsin will bounce back strongly this week.  WISCONSIN by 16

Northwestern Wildcats at Purdue Boilermakers : The Boilermakers have taken the lead in the West, and a likely Illinois loss will give them a boost.  Beating the Wildcats, who are still searching for their second win.  PURDUE by 23

MAC

Akron Zips at Buffalo Bulls : Akron is in the basement, and they are likely to stay there.  BUFFALO by lots

Oregon State Beavers at Arizona State Sun Devils : The Beavers will chew up the Sun Devils.  OREGON STATE by 23

Boise State Broncos at Wyoming Cowboys : The Cowboys have done well this season, and could compete here, but I think the Broncos offense will prove too much.  BOISE STATE by 13
