[McCaravan]

This is not a sandbag, just stating the facts, Calumet Tech isn’t that bad. Went 6-3 last year, scored 48 in their week 1 W last week, coached by a MC Alum. I’d say 42-14

[McCaravan]

I think Hillcrest/BR will be a good game, especially with Warren out. Hillcrest has a great RB....BR offense replaced all 11 starters...BR still wins, but let’s say 21-13

I'll take these three dogs:

Naperville No. +18
Cardinal Ritter +28
Libertyville +14

I think Hillcrest/BR will be a good game, especially with Warren out. Hillcrest has a great RB....BR offense replaced all 11 starters...BR still wins, but let’s say 21-13

Hearing BR’s offense will be rather young, too. Definitely will have to rely on the D at the outset...which I think will be pretty good with or without the new addition considering who they return.

There is a better chance of Mayor Pete and Mayor Lori swapping spouses than there is of Mount Carmel losing this game.

Mount Carmel 52 Opponent 0

Privedence 28 Willowbrook 7

Huh????

I think this is decided by 3 points.

The big games to pick this week are

St. Rita at home - So I like their chances in this one. Close game
Willowbrook vs Provi is the most difficult one for me to pick. Whoever is at home wins it.
Loyola will beat St. Iggy but not by as many points as others think.

 

[McCaravan]

I keep forgetting it’s the Ohio Iggy! I kept wondering why people think Iggy (Chicago) is gonna bear LA! Lol!

 

[McCaravan]

SR- 28

JCA-21

Willowbrook- 17

PC- 21

I’ll go with LA because they are in State and Catholic Leaguers but I know Iggy is a serious football school so won’t be surprised if they L. LA has a lot of peices to replace

 

[ignazio]

Why is Warren out

Truancy.

 

[Wassup13]

My other pick of the Week

NIU over ISU

 

[RockSoup]

Thanks @ignazio for being you.

To everyone else, do not look too deep into these picks. Gambletron 2000 needs at least 729 relatively reliable data points before it gets into the ballpark, which would be week 4 give or take a few depending on a couple factors that aren’t necessarily important right now.

What’s important is my pick is not for or against your team, it’s me vs machine, human vs bytes, spirit vs material. I do not take this responsibility lightly. Think of me as John Connor but with bad splotchy male patterned baldness, a belly, and a slight limp, but other than that, I am humanity’s best, last chance.

[ignazio]

Hillcrest +28, as suspensions aren't in the Gambletron algorithm yet.
Marist -52, as CPS isn't in session yet and Mr T isn't playing.
MC -55, new tech, old tech, technical knock out.
LA +13, 8 points? Straight-up insult to LA's kicker.
JC +4.
MCHS -28, wasn't aware that Montini's GM was expanding his reach into Wisconsin.
Brook 2.0 -14, PC needs some time to rebound.
Geneva +27, they should cover.
SL -36, CPS still between vacation and strike.
DLS -24, Niwehi Indians still down.
Naz -28, anything less than 400/ypg is disappointing.
Nap North +27, pure guess.
Prospect +7, only because V historically underperforms.
ETHS -6.
L'ville +14. A numbers problem at CoM?
Woodpile -2.
TECH -25. Running roughshod over the Roughriders.
CtK +35. Gladiators.
OL +10, new coach.
SJ +25.
ME +25.
Lindblom +46.
Fenwick +6.

Exhausting. Pure stab in the dark on most of these.

You misspelled exhilarating

 

[Oddy]

Not a match up of 15 years ago, but LIbertyville at CoM will play to a packed house in Mundelein none the less.

 

[CCHS-Fan]

This CCHS team has some playmakers and speed.

 

[Jonathan Cox]

Huh????

I think this is decided by 3 points.
