Here we go. Let's get rolling with our Big 12 football. Picks against the spread for week 12 of the

big 12 football season. Can you believe it? Only a couple of weeks left. Our picks on the season,

35, 25, and 2 against the spread. So I will take that through 11 weeks of the season every single year.

35, 25 and 2 against the spread on our big 12 picks. So let's get to it. And let's start off with

TCU and Baylor. So TCU goes to Waco this weekend. They're a favorite. They're 10 and 0.

It's dicey because of course it is, yes,

a rivalry game. It's a rivalry game. So you're sitting there and you're saying to yourself,

boy, Baylor is coming off a bad loss to Kansas State. They're at home. They're fired up.

They're still kind of in contention for a Big 12 championship, but last week really did them a lot of damage.

Last week, basically knocked Baylor out of the Big 12 race. It's not impossible, but it's not likely.

So this is now in many ways their Super Bowl. This is likely to be the biggest game left of

the season for Baylor on their home field against their

biggest rival who's 10-0 and trying to get to a college football playoff.

Baylor has a chance to spoil all of that on Saturday. Do I think they will? No, I don't. I like

TCU to cover the spread of two and a half points on

Saturday. And I'm just looking at this and saying, TCU got over the hump at Texas last week.

Now they've got to go to Waco. That's not easy. But this defense is playing better. It seems like

every week. TCU's defense in terms of efficiency.

So advanced analytics, TCU's defense is second in the Big 12 to Kansas states.

They've been very good on that side of the ball, especially as of late.

They gave up three points last week to Texas.

Remember, Texas got that garbage touchdown at the end after the bad turnover by Max
