Bulldogs or Volunteers? Friday Locks: Week 12

At this point it’s comical to see our swings from week to week as we take on college football point spreads. For me, personally, it couldn’t get worse than my 0-3 record last Saturday. That said, the grind goes on as Week 12 of the season is upon us.

This week we’re taking a look at a total of seven games, with three of us having thoughts on Georgia at Tennessee.

Week 12 Picks

Caleb

Virginia (+23) vs Notre Dame – I fully believe that Notre Dame will win but just don’t see them winning by more than 3 touchdowns.

LSU (-4) vs Florida – LSU needs a big bounce back game after getting blown out by Bama at home. I expect LSU to come out on fire and take control of this game fast.

Georgia (-10) vs Tennessee – With Nico being questionable for the Vols I don’t see a way Tennessee can walk into Athens and pull off a win.

Craig

Texas (-12) at Arkansas | Arkansas will be on the field again for the first time since getting blown out two weeks ago. I think the Longhorns go on the road and win this one big. 

LSU (-3.5) at Florida |  LSU needs a win after last week. Meanwhile, the wheels seem to be falling off the wagon in the swamp. The Tigers will get it done in this one. 

Tennessee (+9.5) at Georgia | I have no clue who is going to win this game. But, I do know Josh Heupel and his team will keep this one close. 

Matt

Texas (-13) at Arkansas | The Razorbacks are last in the SEC in passing defense and 125th in the FBS, allowing 266 yards per game. Meanwhile, the Longhorns have Isaiah Bond healthy once again and his speed is going to be a significant challenge to Arkansas.

Colorado (-11) vs. Utah | Utah has won 11 of the last 12 games against Colorado, including three in a row at Folsom Field. But this is a banged-up Utes team that’s coming off an emotional loss to BYU last week.

Pittsburgh (+12) vs. Clemson | Pitt has dropped two straight games following a 7-0 start to the season. They’ve taken a couple of steps backwards and now are on the verge of completely falling out of the mix for the conference title. This Clemson game is their last stand, and I expect them to fight hard.

Zack

LSU Tigers (-3.5) at Florida Gators | Both LSU and Florida are fresh off 2 straight tough losses, so both teams will be hungry for a win. I like the Tigers in this one.

Tennessee Volunteers (+10.5) at Georgia Bulldogs | I’m not sure if the Vols can pull off a win in Athens, but I think they keep it within one score.

Kansas Jayhawks at BYU Cougars (-1) | I don’t care what Kansas did last week, I like BYU to win this game.
