Week 5 is here and FloridaHSFootball.com once again brings you its expert pick’ems for the 2020 season. I know last week I didn’t post the picks and that is totally on me due to time constraints with several different things, but I promise we are back on track this week.
We have a great group of eight pickers (including yours truly) who will pick the winners from our Top Games of the Week we have previewed and talked about all week here which will be a total of 10 games — well 9 games actually thanks to one of the games we picked, Edgewater at Wekiva getting canceled due to COVID-19 issues.
However, before we get to the picks this week, this how everyone did last week:
Joshua Wilson, 8-2
Mike Ridaught, 9-1
Doug Pugh, 7-3
Corey Davis, 8-2
Marty Pallman, 7-3
Bill Hammel, 8-2
Jeff Fisher, 8-2
Joel Hillsman, 8-2
Joe Pinkos’ Picks, 9-1
