A look at how prognosticators from around the country view the Week 12 games.
Lenn Robbins, New York Post: Factual reasons Army will cover against Notre Dame. Army is eighth in the nation in rushing, averaging 272 yards a game. Notre Dame is 66th in rushing defense, giving up 155.2 yards a game. Army plays an option offense similar to Navy's. In Navy's 35-17 win over the Irish, the Middies rolled for 367 yards on the ground. Notre Dame is playing with more confidence than it did against Navy, but not well enough to cover.
John Tamanaha, NBC Sports: The Friday Night Special. Boise State has outscored Fresno State, 206-68, in its previous four games on the blue turf. Yes, it's a big number, but the Broncos will cover.
Double D, Boston Herald: Wisconsin is a 4-point favorite and figures to move the ball at will vs. Michigan. This could get ugly in a hurry. Lay the points.
Mike Hlas, Cedar Rapids Gazette: Hlastradamus predicts Texas A&M will take care of business against Nebraska.
Heisman Pundit: This one won't be close. Take Ohio State and give the points against Iowa.
Erick Smith, Campus Rivalry: Oklahoma has had trouble on the road and is at Baylor. It won't be easy, but the Sooners should squeeze out a victory.
Mike Huguenin, Rivals.com: The Week 12 primer. He's 266-277-11 picking every game against the spread.
Phil Steele: The top 25 forecast. Virginia Tech is on the road at Miami and that means trouble for the Hokies.
Jon Wilner, College Hotline: Picking the Pac-10. It's the Big Game between Stanford and California. The Cardinal will pull away late and win, 23-16.
Brett McMurphy, FanHouse: His best bet has Cincinnati covering the spread against Rutgers.
Tony Barnhart, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The Fearless Friday Forecast. Georgia Tech needs a victory over Duke to become eligible for a bowl. The Yellow Jackets will get it, 31-24.
Stewart Mandel, SI.com: Weekend Pickoff. His upset special: Oregon State 31, USC 28.
