A couple games under .500 this time around, this is
how a half a point here, and a half a point there took
me under the parallel bars.
LUCKY
LESTER'S Free NCAA Football Pick Review
Free
Picks: Week 12
West
Virginia Mountaineers @ Cincinnati Bearcats (+6):
win
(Line: Thursday, 2:00am EST: SBG Belmont)
They
didn't quite get the win, but my 6 points were just
enough to cover and get me a much needed NCAA win to
start off my week. The Mountaineers were too fast offensively
for Cinci when it came right down to it, and with a
win, they kept a fat chance open for a National Championship
run if the right dominoes fall.
Pittsburgh
Panthers @ Rutgers Scarlet Knights (-11.5): loss
(Line: Wednesday, 11:00pm EST: Belmont)
So,
I was wrong about Pittsburgh. I thought they'd mail
it in after a loss to Navy, but they've played pretty
well late in the season, including a close loss to the
Knights on Saturday. Rutgers didn't dominate like I
thought they would, something that has happened once
or twice already this season.
Iowa
State Cyclones @ Kansas Jayhawks (-26): win
(Line: Thursday, 4:00pm EST: WSEX)
"The
Cyclones are one of the worst teams in college football,
despite playing well in a big game or two this season
(close game against Oklahoma and a win over Iowa come
to mind) but they have also absolutely sucked against
superb offenses (which the Jayhawks definitely have)."
The Cyclones continued their trend, and the Jayhawks
once again dominanted a lesser opponent. It will be
interesting to see what happens when they play the Tigers
this coming weekend.
Kentucky
Wildcats (+7.5) @ Georgia Bulldogs: loss
(Line: Wednesday, 11:00pm EST: Belmont)
This
half point loss wasn't what I needed. I thought the
Wildcats would have too much of a passing attack for
the Bulldogs, but in the end, Georgia's pressure off
the edge put the Wildcats in one too many long yardage
situations, and Georgia won by 8.
Duke
Blue Devils (+6) @ Notre Dame: loss
(Line: Wednesday, 11:00pm EST: BodogLife)
The
dream died, and in quite possibly the game that decided
the worst team in college football, the Blue Devils
once again stepped up to prove that they were the proud
owners of that Burger King Paper Crown. The Irish won
big, and let me tell you, that will be the last time
that happens this season.
Five
Free Dogs to Walk!
Maryland
Terrapins (+7.5) @ Florida State Seminoles: loss
(half point)
(Line: Thursday, 4:00pm EST: Belmont)
Oklahoma
Sooners @ Texas Tech Red Raiders (+8.5): win
(Line: Thursday, 4:00pm EST: Bodog)
Tulane
Green Wave (+2) @ Rice Owls: win
(Line: Thursday, 4:00pm EST: Belmont)
Northwestern
Wildcats (+13.5) @ Illinois Fighting Illini: loss
(Line: Thursday, 4:00pm EST: Belmont)
Idaho
Vandals (+34.5) @ Boise State Broncos: loss
(Line: Thursday, 4:00pm EST: Belmont)
Two
half a point losses turned what could have been a 6-4
into a 4-6. There's always next week! A 3-2 record with
my elite picks made me feel a little better, but 7-8
overall isn't much to be excited about.
