The World Famous CCL-ESCC Predictions 2023 Week 2

[ignazio]

On a W/L basis Gambletron went 14-6 last weekend. A few surprises. We won't be replaced by AI for at least another week. Quite a few rivalries this week. Pulaski Bowl, I-80 Skirmish, the Irish Gentlemanly Disagreement, the Westsiders War (?), and the Battle of Roscoe Village and Andersonville (The Coffee House Cup?). I'm looking forward to the Ramblers finally getting revenge for that totally horseshit holding call in '92. Legal question: if Hancock Stadium has been completely rebuilt, am I still banned?

as a providence alum, jca looks weak but we look weaker lol

JC 35 PC 14

Are you serious? I have this game as as a pick-em for whomever shows up better prepared, or even with PC as a slight favorite.

 

[fratboy70]

No way providence is a -20 point dog I think they have one of there better teams they have had in years. It should be a close game but they won’t lose by three touchdowns

 

[ESCC fan]

BR +3 vs Marist - Both teams battle tested after each playing a big time public powerhouse week 1. I think Marist's lack of offense does the min. Low scoring game, Crusaders win 14-8

MC -41 vs MP

NN +30 vs LA

Kenwood +38 vs Rita

Iggy -7 vs Fenwick

PC +21 vs JCA

SP +7 vs ND - Dons have won TEN in a row in this series (believe I have that number right). Many of those wins were not particularly competitive. This one will be. Dons win by 3.

Orr +62 vs ICP - Why?

Naz +15 vs York

Sterling +21 vs Frannie

Riverside +38 vs Viator

MA -42 vs Curie

CoM +7 vs Lake Forest

The I-80 Skirmish has now become the Holy Sandbag War of I-80.

@ESCC fan St. Rita / Kenwood pick? And I assume NN +30 over LA was your intention.

As a reminder for all of us degens, 20 games this week, 20 picks. Thanks Fam!

Fixed. Thank you for the catch. Got too excited letting everyone know about ND's dominance over the Shamrocks.

Marist Rice is the only real juicy matchup, but lots of interesting barometer games.

Naz at 0-2 would be dicey with their remaining schedule.

Carmel makes a statement against LF and I see them winning 7 games this year.

Ignatius Fenwick is very good matchup. The Salutatorian GOTW

ND Pat's has been much more of a basketball rivalry the past 10 or so years. ND covers, but the Dons didn't do much to impress after their week one heroics.


Get out to a game! Going to be a gorgeous night! Enjoy the holiday weekend!

 

[McCaravan]

St. Laurence CPS opponent Noble Forfeited. They must have talked to Von Stubben. Those couldn’t have been the best two games they could find….

Bring back the DeSales-style Sunday afternoon game.

 

[McCaravan]

BR +3 vs Marist - Maine South beating Warren by 21 makes this an easy choice.

MP +41- MC wins comfortably but MP has too much talent for this to be a running clock blow out

NN +30 vs LA- I'll take the 30

Kenwood +38 vs Rita- Barley, SR wins easily but Kenwood should be able to put up 12, maybe 18, they will just have trouble stopping SR. Is Lightfoot playing?

Fenwick +7 vs Iggy

PC +21 vs JCA- Lock of the week

ND -7 vs Pats-

Orr +62 vs ICP -

Naz +15 vs York

Sterling +21 vs Francis

Riverside +38 vs Viator

MA -42 vs Curie

CoM +7 vs Lake Forest- Looked great last week

DLS -35 vs Clark- 2-0 for Marty

DePaul -28 vs Amundsen

Leo -42 vs Walther- 2-0 for the Mighty Men of Leo

MC of the Heights +22 vs HF

SL -52 vs Noble - FORFEITED BY NOBLE- OFF THE BOARD

Moline +7 vs Benet

Hillcrest +22 vs MCHS

BR +3 – Big win on the road last week. Battle of Pulaski Rd. will be a good one.

PC +21 Battle of I-80 is another rivalry game.

ND -7 Dons over Pats in another rivalry game.

Kenwood +38 KW has a lot of talent 38 is too many points.

MP +41- MC wins easily but MP also has a lot of raw talent. Take MP and the points.

NN +30 LA could clock them but won’t

Friars +7

Orr +62

Naz +15

Sterling +21

Riverside +38

MA -42 could be ugly

CoM +7

Hillcrest +22

SL -52 vs Noble (forfeit)

 

[feeto]

MP is getting 41 points??!!??!! No way. They have way too much talent for a 41 point spread. I think they will keep it close.

 

[ignazio]

I'm tempted to just copy MCCaravan, but I'll play it honest.
BR - I'm a Q Anon believer.
MP - MC would rather play than run a clock.
Kenwood - Same reasoning as above.
NN - I've got issues with Gambletron.
F - Only to beat the spread.
PC - Gambletron really stirring things up.
ND - I think Pats is still a year away.
ICP - And that's with their cheerleaders in the 2nd half.
York - Brilliant scheduling for the Dukes.
Sterling - I heard Sterling moved their game to the inner city.
SV - MPS teams are on par with CPS.
MA - No idea.
CoM - I'm all aboard the McKie Train.
DLS - McFly 2-0.
Amundsen - At least they could beat a CSL North opponent.
LEO
Heights
Noble Street will beat the spread!
Benet - has a big tight end. (Sounds kinda gay, doesn't it?)
Montini - really need those 5 wins this year.

[ignazio]

Absolutely stunning night for Gambletron. F over SI win was the only matchup he missed. Really rocked it in JC/PC.

 

[Kevin JCHS 81]

PC +21 vs JCA- Lock of the week

Not quite the LOCK you and I thought but Provi still covered the spread.

 

[RockSoup]

Guess who’s back, back again.

Now I’m going to have the full breakdown sometime this glorious Labor Day weekend but I needed to make this post for those that are sweating the Sparta at HF game today at 1pm.

Rock (15pts) and has Coach Lopez’ Spartans of Chicago Heights Marian

refref has 14pts and the Vikings of Homewood-Flossmoor today as does chiliconcarne.

Good luck gents

 

[Lion4Life01]

SV handedly covered the 38 point spread! 53-0

 

[RockSoup]

Week 2 pick ‘em notes:

12.471 was par for the week

Season long scoreboard on next post.

Yours truly, ref, Iggy, chili, pjjp, stl705, 80sram, McCar, TLone and BnR all gained on the field.

Less points available in week 3 as conference crossovers begin

17 degens this week. Up 1 from week 1. Rock and gobears joined the fun with Rock winning and gobears winning the boob prize for week 2.
