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.
