Picking games for rivalry week sucks. These games are even harder than normal to predict because even the lowliest teams can rise up and knock off their better on paper rival. That’s the beauty of rivalry games and makes it great for the fans. For pickers it’s impossible. 63% is lower than my average for the season, but I’m actually pretty happy with this percentage. Heading into Saturday I was under .500 on my picks! This week there are only a handful of regular season games left along with conference championship games. Out of every week in the season, this is my best chance to have a perfect weekend of picks. In addition I’m also picking the Army-Navy game, even though it’s not until next week. Let’s hope I pick them better this week!
