Peter’s Pack of Pickled Pigskin Picks 2017-Week 13

It’s time for Week 13 of Pigskin Picks. So, along with the leftover turkey, have some football. Pick early, folks. The first game is Friday afternoon when Mizzou takes on Arkansas. This is Rivalry Week, and I find it interesting that these two schools in states that border each other haven’t had a rivalry until Mizzou joined the SEC a few years back.

So here are your 10 picks. If you believe in luck, pick away. And even if you don’t, it’s all for fun anyway.

Remember, choose by Friday, November 24, 2017 @ 2:30 EST.

1. Mizzou @ Arkansas

2. South Florida @ Central Florida

3. Iowa @ Nebraska

4. Virginia Tech @ Virginia

5. Georgia @ Georgia Tech

6. Purdue @ Indiana

7. Florida State @ Florida

8. Alabama @ Auburn (the Iron Bowl)

9. Arizona @ Arizona State

10. Tie Breaker: Texas Tech @ Texas. Pick the winner and the final score.

PS- Since this is being sent before the new rankings come out, you’ll have to guess which teams are in the Top 25.

It’s Wednesday, so don’t forget Ajisuun and The Gambia.

Anyone else?

Psalm 106:1-5

1 Praise the Lord.

   Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
    his love endures forever.

2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord
    or fully declare his praise?
3 Blessed are those who act justly,
    who always do what is right.

4 Remember me, Lord, when you show favor to your people,
    come to my aid when you save them,
5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,
    that I may share in the joy of your nation
    and join your inheritance in giving praise.

Anyone have something to share?

Psalm 105:1-7

1 Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
    make known among the nations what he has done.
2 Sing to him, sing praise to him;
    tell of all his wonderful acts.
3 Glory in his holy name;
    let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Look to the Lord and his strength;
    seek his face always.

5 Remember the wonders he has done,
    his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
6 you his servants, the descendants of Abraham,
    his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
7 He is the Lord our God;
    his judgments are in all the earth.

Anyone have something to share?

Psalm 104:1-24

1 Praise the Lord, my soul.

   Lord my God, you are very great;
    you are clothed with splendor and majesty.

2 The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment;
    he stretches out the heavens like a tent
3  and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
    He makes the clouds his chariot
    and rides on the wings of the wind.
4 He makes winds his messengers,
    flames of fire his servants.

5 He set the earth on its foundations;
    it can never be moved.
6 You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment;
    the waters stood above the mountains.
7 But at your rebuke the waters fled,
    at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;
8 they flowed over the mountains,
    they went down into the valleys,
    to the place you assigned for them.
9 You set a boundary they cannot cross;
    never again will they cover the earth.

10 He makes springs pour water into the ravines;
    it flows between the mountains.
11 They give water to all the beasts of the field;
    the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 The birds of the sky nest by the waters;
    they sing among the branches.
13 He waters the mountains from his upper chambers;
    the land is satisfied by the fruit of his work.
14 He makes grass grow for the cattle,
    and plants for people to cultivate—
    bringing forth food from the earth:
15 wine that gladdens human hearts,
    oil to make their faces shine,
    and bread that sustains their hearts.
16 The trees of the Lord are well watered,
    the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
17 There the birds make their nests;
    the stork has its home in the junipers.
18 The high mountains belong to the wild goats;
    the crags are a refuge for the hyrax.

19 He made the moon to mark the seasons,
    and the sun knows when to go down.
20 You bring darkness, it becomes night,
    and all the beasts of the forest prowl.
21 The lions roar for their prey
    and seek their food from God.
22 The sun rises, and they steal away;
    they return and lie down in their dens.
23 Then people go out to their work,
    to their labor until evening.

24 How many are your works, Lord!
