Peter’s Pack of Pickled Pigskin Picks 2016-Week 2

It’s week 2 in college football, so most of the top teams are playing “pushovers” (i.e.- smaller schools) this week, like Nevada at Notre Dame or Nichols State at Georgia. The small colleges do that knowing they are going to lose, but it gains them revenue. So the picks this week are mostly games of relative equals. We’ll start with the military schools and go from there. A few cross-state rivals play this week, mainly because they are not in the same conferences, so don’t play each other at the end of the season. 

Kbells won it last week, so she chose the tie breaker game. Get your predictions in by 12:00 Noon Eastern Daylight Time (that’s 11:00 am Central, 10:00 am Mountain Time and 9:00 am Pacific). Those overseas adjust for your time zone.

1. Georgia State @ Air Force: Can Georgia Southern survive the high altitude in Colorado?

2. UConn @  Navy: Huskies and Midshipmen. Can the dogs sink them?

3. Rice @  Army: Owls and Knights. Interesting. A nocturnal bird against a team with the word “night” in its name.

4. Wake Forest @  Duke: Demon Deacons vs Blue Devils. Is the winner the greater of two evils?

5. Iowa State @   Iowa: Cyclones and Hawkeyes. Have you heard about the prof at Iowa that thinks the mascot is too agressive? Yeah, Iowa City is the Liberal capitol of the state.

6. BYU @  Utah: Can the Cougars go 2-0 against the PAC-12?

7. Washington State @  Boise State: I know what one of you is going to say, so I’ll leave it to her.

8. Penn State @  Pittsburgh: A cat fight in the city of steel.

9. Maine @  Toledo: Just because I don’t think I have ever put in a game with Maine in it.

10. Tie Breaker–  NC State @  Eastern Carolina: It was kbells’ to choose, but you choose the winner and the final score.

Psalm 135

¹Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, O ye servants of the Lord.

2 Ye that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

6 Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

13 Thy name, O Lord, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations.

14 For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron:

20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

21 Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

3 The Lord that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.
