Every year (and every week of the CFB season) we have a little friendly competition between our writers for world domination when it comes to picking the Big Ten and some of the bigger college football games.
We bring you our expert tips and predictions on all league games against the spread and throughout the season. As an added bonus that you didn’t even know you longed for, we’re going to be bringing you six of the top college football collection games for the week. We are the judge and jury on this case, and if there is a tie with any of the picks, George Washington will decide the old-fashioned coin toss.
As a reminder, if there is an asterisk next to the selection, it means that the team wins but does not cover.
EXAMPLE:
– If you think Ohio State will win minus 3.5 against an opponent: OSU
– If you think Ohio State is going to win straight away: OSU
– If you think Ohio State is going to win but DOES NOT cover: OSU *
Here are our expert tips for week 13, but first our results after week 12.
