The World Famous CCL-ESCC Predictions 2023 Week 1

[ignazio]

Gambletron has undergone some reprogramming this offseason. Has it factored in so many scandals? Will that be enough to help the Crusaders? A neutral site for the IL IMG Bowl. Which helmet will they wear in Grand Rapids? Lucas rematch, the Crown of Oak Park on the line, the Winiecki Bowl, and so much more. Time to shut your mouths, make your picks and stick by them. My tip: anyone who received a frozen pizza will get clocked.

Not too many folks around here who are going to get the Winiecki reference. Love it.

MS +3 If game was at BR I’d be picking BR
MC +6 (1) FG and 3 extra points. Special teams wins it for MC
Sandburg +30 I think SR gets ahead (I hope) and lets the air out of the ball. 30 points too many
LA- 28 Carnak the Magnificent says I don’t have a clue
Marist -1
Pat's with the points
Iowa City +16 JCA wins by 14
Willowbrook with the points
Gary Bowman +49 who?
Kankakee +21 easily covers the spread
Fenwick by FG OPRF covers the spread.
WSF
SV
Marmion
CoM

Oak Forest +35 too many points

CCLESCC Week 1
BR @ MS
BR - I expect a low-scoring battle, as Gambletron doesn't have a coaching personnel factor.
MC v ESL
ESL - No idea.
SR @ Carl Sandburg
CS - I don't see a blowout.
LA @ GRCC
GRCC - The only one I've actually did research. GRCC has the best defense in Michigan. Sweet unis too.
M @ GW
M - No clue, going with D1 recruits.
SP @ SI
SP - Week 1 must win game for both teams.
JC @ Iowa City
JC - Based on bus ride.
Willowbrook @ ND
W - ND won't cover.
Gary Bowman @ ICP
ICP - Only hope for Gary is the Thor Guard going off.
Naz @ Kankakee
Naz - Pure guess.
OPRF @ F
F - Didn't do the homework, OPRF is sloppy.
DGN @ WSF
DGN - Guess.
SV @ DLS
DLS - finds a way to cover.
MA @ MW
MW - covers.
C-M @ CoM
CoM - Obviously Gambletron hasn't heard of the next 6-star recruit.
DP @ Deerfield
DP - Should be fun.
BMac @ Leo
LEO
Rich @ Marian, Heights
Heights
Von Stueben @ SL
SL
OF @ Benet
OF
Westinghouse @ MCHS
MCHS
PC @ Lake Central
Lake Central - PC won't cover.

As Larry Bird famously said before the 3 point contest, "Whose coming in second!" Thank you Ignazio for putting this together. Highlight of my week. Looking forward to another year of good natured smack talk and my part time role as being a lonely Marist supporter on this board.

[Vincennes6410]

My locks of the week, Willowbrook and Kankakee, came in!

Big Willowbrook guy this @McCaravan is. That semi-final win in ‘19 must be something special . . If I had a dollar for every time you mentioned Willowbrook id donate it all to put your name on the student center @6410.

Week One Recap:

Thanks again to Iggy for gambletronnin it to kick us off

Oh, McCar is back. Joy.

16 degens. Love it. I’ll pick next week but thought I’d give the field a 9 to 18 point lead

13.5625 points gained was par for the week

21 of 22 points possible with the CruHawk push

Tuccs, ESCC and Buffoon gained on the field with McCar as well as PJJP, Boundary, ref, 3ow, TLone and BnR did not lose to the field with their 14 correct.

Without further ado, the Scoreboard:

@McCaravan 18 (Returning Champ)

13 weeks left so if you didn’t pick this week, like me, or you fell short this week, there’s plenty of time left to make McCar sweat! See you Wednesday Fam!

Ok. Things are getting back to normal. I was starting to worry about this site.
