Feeto's Friday Upset Special.....

[feeto]

Playoffs are here!!! Lots of people confuse a lower seed beating a higher seed as an upset....... Well that's often not the case. If it were, I'd take 19 seed Mount Carmel every week from here on out. Upsets are based on team quality wins or losses. They're based on Edgy and Newspaper rankings. They're based on Gambletron spreads. So, for this week's upset I'm going with the 6-3 unranked, 23 seeded T-bolts of Andrew over the 8-1 #18 ranked and 10 seeded Vikings of Fremd. I think this one comes down to regular season games vs quality opponents, and Andrew has that advantage. Their 3 losses all came vs high quality opponents from their own conference. I like what I'm seeing from the T-bolts offense putting up close to 40 per game. I'll take Andrew tonight out in Palatine. Final score...... Andrew T-bolts 34 - Fremd Vikings 28. That's this week's upset. What are your thoughts and who is your upset?

I like Edwardsville to beat York.

Also like Naperville North.

 

[mc140]

Lemont over Bloomington

 

[USD24]

Joliet West to beat Lyons Township.

Now that would be an upset! I'm gonna say LT has more first downs than West has points.

 

[USD24]

I'm gonna go with Sandburg over Stevenson.

Some precedent for this pick exists. Rewind to Round 1 two years ago when Andrew (6-3) went out to Huntley (8-1) to get the W. With the same records in play and very similar seed positions (difference of 1 for each) we will see if lightning can strike twice for the Thunderbolts.

 

[SGW08]

Sterling over Franny…. Ok ok it’s just wishful thinking… just hoping we can make it a decent game! Or just keep it under a running clock
