I'm not sure if this thread is even relevant this year, but I'm nothing if not persistent. So here we go. For this weeks pick, (I apologize in advance) I'll take the #17 ranked Wolves of Prairie Ridge over the # 15 ranked and 2017 State Champion Wildcats of Philips. This game is at Gately, which will be a huge advantage to the Cats .It looks like everyone is picking Philips, and they are loaded on both sides of the ball. They score in bunches, and play fast, quality defense. BUT.... PR has some weapons of it's own. Willis is one of the strongest backs in the state, and he will pound the ball all day long. Not to mention that defense which is always one of the best in Illinois. I think the winner of this one goes all the way. Final score Prairie Ridge 24 - Philips 18. That's my upset. What are your thoughts, and who is your upset?
OFeetO Friday Upset Special........
- Thread starter feeto
- Start date
I don't want CG to look past Kaneland, but I'm not sure who I want to see come out on that one. Feel free to beat each other up good.
Down in central Illinois, I'm gonna say that SHG upsets a top seeded Washington team that destroyed Providence last week.
I'm going with nonranked (in most polls) #19 seed LA over #3 seed Oswego. GREAT DAY TO BE A RAMBLER!

I like your pick Feeto but hope your curse won't work against PR. Thank you for not mentioning Montini.
If we are doing it by seeds - I will take Ed’s over West Aurora as well!!
If we are doing it by seeds, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the Hilltoppers upset Marion!
This could happen. LWW has a November offense, but that can be a problem if they are chasing too many points. If their defense can keep Simeon mostly in the box, this would improve their chances. P.S. This game would be a perfect opportunity for the LWW announcer to drop his use of "Westside" when referring to his ex-urban school. Somehow I do not think Simeon will confuse western New Lenox with, say, Rockne Stadium near the real West Side.
I’m interested to see how the game plays out. I expect JCA to prevail but might give an idea of how tough they truly are.
Since many play the lower seed wins so it’s automatically an upset game on here, I’ll take the 16 seed, 6-4 Evergreen Park Mustangs, over the upstart 8-2 Elmwood Park Tigers in a matchup of former Southwest Suburban and Northeast Conference foes.
Good deal. New to this so I didn't know we had to go out on an insane limb. I guess I'll just throw out crazy ones and see if they land next time.
I'm glad you said "If we are doing it by seeds". I say JCA running-clocks Marion.
I think Rice will beat OPRF but they will get a much needed battle that they haven’t had since week one vs. Marist. MC will also have a much needed challenge this week vs Lake Zurich, but I think MC pulls it out, but not by these blowout scores some are predicting. I’ll go with Feeto with PR over Phillips
Evergreen Park had 7 teams on their schedule without a winning record including gaining 2 forfeit wins among those.
I'm thinking Maine West over Willowbrook - yes that's it, trust me (I think)
I agree with regard to Richards, but not Shepard (37-pt. losers to Bulldogs). Also, B-Mac was on the Elmwood Park schedule. They demolished Eisenhower, who beat Evergreen.
So we agree they would be 8-1 if they had Elmwood Park's schedule.
I believe they have two players out after being ejected for fighting from last week's game... one is their big DE and the other is their 3rd WR... either way, it's two players down...
they may have an injury or something else that I'm not aware of, it is late in the season and it takes a toll on the guys who play a lot... especially the two-way players....
MW is relatively healthy as they just got back a starting OL who missed the last two games with a broken finger...
both team rely pretty heavily on two-way players, so depth is an issue for both teams...
should be a good game!
I saw WB play week 7(?) vs York and honestly could not understand them - I mean why they were so successful (other than having a tough gritty QB) - Absolutely no disrespect but they did not seem like a 9-0 team......and I saw Benet twice and thought very highly of them - so if MW can defeat them, I think WB could be had - not sure about the 3 players being out.
