Posted on by gamedaycole

Here’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for.  Celebrity superstars and hosts of their own podcast Stanford Steve Coughlin and Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica have given out the week 12 picks for you.  As always, their official picks are graded on the ESPN Chalk picks each week, but this should line up pretty closely to their Chalk picks tomorrow.  Listen to the full thing for all of the full analysis on these games, leans, moneyline parlays, the Condo Steamer, and much more.  Enjoy.

Week 12 2018: #CFB Picks w/ Phil Steele!

Posted on by gamedaycole

Here’s the week 12 picks from Phil Steele via the Behind the Bets podcast with Doug Kezirian.  They talked a lot more games than this and gave out leans on a lot of games so listen to the podcast if you’re wondering about a particular game.  The 5 “official” games from Phil were Minnesota, Miss/Vandy over, Wazzu, Iowa, and Miami, but he was very strong on the UNLV and ECU picks so I’m counting them.  He gave out Minnesota+2 but it was -1 when I checked this afternoon so that must have moved quite a bit since they recorded.  Do what you want with that one.

As always I will be updating with more picks if he gives them out on the Campus Conversation podcast, the Inside the Pressbox preview, or anywhere else I find him picking games.

Date Pick
11/17/18 Washington State  -9.5 vs Arizona
11/17/18 East Carolina  -17 vs Connecticut
11/17/18 Iowa  -14.5 vs Illinois
11/17/18 Miami (FL)  -5.5 vs Virginia Tech
11/17/18 Vanderbilt vs Mississippi Over 66.5
11/17/18 UNLV + 6.5 vs Hawaii
11/17/18 Minnesota + 2 vs Northwestern

The following picks have been added from today’s Campus Conversation podcast:

Date Pick
11/17/18 Texas  -3 vs Iowa State
11/17/18 Nebraska + 2.5 vs Michigan State
11/17/18 Pittsburgh  -7 vs Wake Forest
11/17/18 Southern California  -3.5 vs UCLA
11/17/18 Stanford  -2 vs California
11/17/18 Wisconsin + 4.5 vs Purdue

The following picks have been added from his Phil Steele Plus preview for week 12:

Date Pick
11/17/18 Auburn  -28.5 vs Liberty
11/17/18 Lamar + 1.5 vs McNeese
11/17/18 Davidson College + 1.5 vs Butler University
