Week 1 2012: Friday night picks
Well ladies and gents, the picks are rolling in as I continue to play catch-up on this Friday night. As I sit here sipping on a rum and coke, we have put together an updated spread of predictions for you below. You can see the early week picks HERE if you want to see what has already been picked this week. Of particular note is the fact that as of the end of our business day here on Friday night, the predictions for this week’s big game are in favor of Bama over Michigan at a staggering 15 to ZERO. Not one of our experts so far has picked Michigan to knock off the reigning champs. About the best you’ve heard this week if you’re rooting for the Wolverines is Todd McShay saying something non-committal like “Michigan has a chance to upset, just not much of a chance” on today’s podcast with Ivan Maisel. For anyone that cares what Bill Plaschke thinks, he also said Michigan has a chance to upset on Around the Horn this afternoon, but I couldn’t really tell if he was calling for the upset or just trolling the rest of the panel for picking Bama. Take it for what you will. We’ll be back first thing in the morning with the REAL picks from the Gameday crew, so until then enjoy your evening.
