Pigskin Prophets: Week 2

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name

People Are Strange by The Doors

They must know each other's names after a week of preparation, but you could understand if the Bedford and Dover football programs don't know too much about each other. Their game this week is only the fourth time the two teams have met, and the first since the 2017 season.

The Bulldogs have won all three of the previous games by an average of 26.3 points, but its the Green Wave that come into the game off a win in last week's season opener. Meanwhile, Bedford is looking to get its first victory. Will the Bulldogs get it? What do the "experts" think?

With the utmost confidence, here are that and the rest of the picks.
