Stoney And Bill Football Picks For The Weekend Of 12-01-12
Stoney's Picks
PAC 12 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
Stanford -9 vs UCLA.
The Cardinal blew out UCLA last week and I think they will do it again Friday night in Palo Alto.
UCLA is 3-11 against the spread after playing a conference game the week before,while Stanford is 18-6 against the spread over the last two years.
PICK STANFORD
SEC CHAMPIONSHIP
Alabama - 7 1/2 vs Georgia
This should be a typical Georgia big game. They will hang in there and then fall apart in the fourth quarter.The Bulldogs are 1-8 against the spread as underdogs the last 3 years and the trend will continue
PICK BAMA
BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP
Nebraska -3 vs Wisconsin
The Badgers have lost their last two games, both coming in overtime. They also opened the Big 10 season with a 3 point loss to Nebraska in Lincoln. The Huskers are rolling and will continue to do so as they head to Pasadena.
PICK NEBRASKA
Lions -5 vs Colts
Detroit is 0-8 against the spread when playing against a team with a winning record in the second half of the season over the last 2 seasons.Plus the Colts are still in the playoff hunt..I think the Lions win a close game.
PICK..COLTS
Cowboys -10 vs Eagles
Philly is flat out awful. They look like they have quit already,plus they are 1-9 against the spread in all games this season.
PICK COWBOYS
Bill's Picks
PAC 12 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.
Stanford -9 vs UCLA.
These two played each other last week and Stanford crushed the Bruins. This time they're at home, it could be worse.
Take Stanford to cover.
SEC CHAMPIONSHIP
Alabama - 7 1/2 vs Georgia
Both of these teams would love to face Notre Dame in the BCS title game. Alabama's defense will be the difference maker.
Take Alabama.
BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP
Nebraska -3 vs Wisconsin
The Cornhuskers won their last 6 games while Wisconsin lost their last 3. Nebraska had to come back to barely beat the Badgers earlier this year.
Take Wisconsin and the points.
Lions -5 vs Colts
The Lions should have beaten Houston. The Colts are no Houston. If they can harrass Luck they should win.
Take the Lions to cover.
Cowboys -10 vs Eagles
Philly has been a disaster lately but the Cowboys are nothing to write home about either.
Have to take Philidelphia and the points though.
