Reed-Custer (2-2) @ Wilmington (3-1) - RC has beat their bad opponents and lost to their good opponents. Kind of where they were thought to be this year. They have a rough two weeks coming up and will need to win their last three games to get to 5 wins. Wilmington continues to roll and I can promise you they are salty about last years thrashing that RC handed them. I think the staunch defense shuts down the Vomits and Wilmo wins comfortably. Wilmo 35 - RC 7
Peotone (2-2) @ Coal City (3-1) - GOTW! A loss here won't be the end of the 'Tones season. Every game after this week looks winnable for them. I don't think this week is out of the question for them as Coal City has only beaten lower quality opponents. I still like CC to win at home though. They don't have Wilmo looming in the shadows in week 6 and they can focus this week on picking up this needed win. CC 42- Tone 33
Herscher (0-4) @ Streator (1-3) - Basement Bowl! This could be the last realistic shot for either team to pick up a conference win IMO..... it will be sloppy and it will be each teams chance to shine. Give me Streator in a shoot out.....Dogs 49 - Herscher 45
(1-3) @ Manteno (2-2) - I think Lisle has their backs against the wall here. They need to win 4 of their last 5 to see the playoffs. I'm not sure if I thought too highly of them or too low of the Panthers, but this could be a co GOTW! Sadly it could be Manteno's last win of the year. I truly have no idea what to make of this one but I think I will take the Lions. Lisle 21 - Manteno 20
Time for a little too early playoff check of the ICE
IN for sure
Wilmo 8-1
CC 7-2
Will get in barring something wild
Peotone (6-3 or 5-4)
should get in, but wouldn't bet on it
RC (5-4) week 9 against Lisle will determine this
Outside Shot
Lisle (4-5) gonna be rough for them, I highly doubt they make it
No way
Manteno (2-7, maybe 3-6)
Streator (2-7)
Herscher (0-9)
