Peter’s Pack of Pickled Pigskin Picks 2020- Week 15
These are unprecedented times. Besides all the other oddities of 2020, college football is in week 15. Normally, the only game left would be the annual Army-Navy game. Chas won last week but deferred since his favorite teams are done for the year. So, in honor of the Veterans and military dependents of Wandering Views, I decided to make the Army/Navy game the tie breaker. There is an alternate, since this is also the year of cancellations, the annual Territorial Cup game in Arizona. Unfortunately for me, my favorite team is also on the ESPN Bottom 10 list this week, having lost its last 11 regular season games, also unprecedented.
So, Pigskin Pickers, make your selections by 7:00 PM EST Friday, Dec. 11, 2020in order to be eligible to pick the tie breaker game for yet another week. Yes, there’s a 16th week this season, and it’s not the bowl games.

(I could blame it on the two babies but they were across the room. Okay, it was the babies. I was watching them and got distracted in the midst of my important selections.)
Free speech, AJ, free speech. For the rest of you: He edited out my opinion on the Navy/Army game. But it’s his blog, so I defer and will state my opinion here: GO Navy! Beat Army!

There were some upsets, but two people got 7 games correct: AJ and Mike. They both predicted Army to win, and they did. But AJ was 3 points closer than Mike in the tie breaker, so AJ wins.
Here’s how the rest of us did-
5 correct: Janice, Mumsee and Peter
4: Chas, but he was only 1 point off on the tie breaker.
So, AJ- Next week is the last week of the regular season. Pick a game for the tie breaker.

I checked and made some changes because AJ and I had duplicate guesses.
So? I changed some of mine. Maybe for the better

Looks like I almost copied Chas. We must be going to win. Except Chas missed one and only put in nine selections.

Looks like Chas gets the tie breaker trophy for only being one point off. We’ll see if he can get the rest as well.
