WEEK 13 2012 FOOTBALL PICKS
Week 12 of the football season has come and gone. The teams that I pull for had mixed results. The Gaffney Indians won their first round playoff game, the Clemson Tigers pounded the Terps but, my NFL teams were 0 and 2 with Carolina and Miami both losing and the Green Bay Packers had their bye week. We sure had a shake up at the top of the BCS Poll with Alabama losing at home to Texas A&M. I am hoping for a Kansas State vs Oregon National Championship Game. How fun would that be with no SEC team playing for the title?
