Week 12 2017: #CFB Picks are graded; results are in!

Week 12 is in the books and we are nearing the end of the regular season at breakneck speed.  Before we get started in rivalry week picks, let’s review week 12 results.

Winners this week included Kirk Herbstreit (7-2), Tim Tebow (6-0), Marcus Spears (6-0), Paul Finebaum (5-1), Andrea Adelson (7-2), Chris Doering (6-1), and Brent Musburger (3-0 ATS).  However this week’s win will go to Bruce Feldman who delivered an 11-1 record picking the biggest games of the weekend.  Congratulations Bruce, it has been a while since you’ve been on top.

Losers this week included Desmond Howard (5-6), Scott Spreitzer (1-3 ATS), and Rufus Peabody (2-3 ATS).  Scott Spreitzer will get his week’s official loss.
