As promised
@ignazio at dawns first light! I'm reaching on a few games this week, we'll see if pays off or if I'm knocked off my perch in the standings.
MC -16- Went back and forth on this, and I'm still not sold. Sandbagging jokes aside, BR is not a bad team, they are banged up but they are still competing. If this game was at MC I'd feel more comfortable with this, but it's at BR and BR has nothing to lose, nobody expects them to win, they got the home crowd, MC will have the 250 fans that can fit on the visitor side and then the rest will be spread out 3 deep in the endzones (little weekend humor Rice fans
but I'm not wrong!) Maybe I'm having flashbacks from last years regular season game, but I'm confident MC wins, and I think it will be very similar to last weeks game vs COM where BR will hang around and MC will eventually go head by 21 late. I hope they the secondary tackles better then they did last week.
SR +22- See above. It's at SR field and they also have nothing to lose as nobody, accept the most loyal Rita faithful, expects them to win. For SR its all about the QB. He seems to thrive against teams where they are the heavy favorite like last week, and he seems to crumble against the stronger teams. I've seen him play live 4 times. If he can find a way to let Stewart do his thing and let the run set up the pass, SR can actually have a heavy punchers chance to win this game at home. If the run game flaters and he is forced to win it on his own, it could be a long night. This LA team isn't as potent as years past, I like SR with 22 points at home.
JCA +2- I'd like to know the over/under because I would take the under. Neither teams offense is anything to brag about but both can pound the chest on good defenses. In close games like this where both teams need a W, I go with special teams and JCA has a kicker, Marist does not. I'm not comfortable with this pick.
SI -6- I like SI by 7
SF + 7- I expect a push on this game with IC winning by 7, but I'm going to swim against the stream on this pick. I would not suggest copying off me on this one. Serious risk takers only!
Naz -1- I like Naz to start building a bit of momentum.
CoM -17- Lock of the week. I like them by 28. BR hung 50 plus on SV last week, COM is the real deal.
Marmion +18- As stated by
@BillyTheBuffoon , Pats isn't good enough to be spotting anyone 18.
DLS -27- Fellow Coppers kid plays for Laurence and said Leo was just undisciplined and wouldn't shake hands after the game. Hurt to hear that as I always root for Leo having many friends that attended there but maybe with Holmes gone some of the discipline he required left with him. Marty Quinn has more work to do with DLS but I like them by a solid 28 in this, just barely covering.
The school Formerly known as Gordon Tech +21- Again, swimming against the stream a bit but I don't think DePaul is that bad...ask Providence! Possible push here.
SL + 6- Shoe in of the week! Why is Benet always getting love? Was it the Moline win? I gave Laurence much deserved pokes early this season for scheduling the lowest of the CPS divisions in Von Stubben and another team I can't remember but it resulted in a forfeit W. But they hung in with St. Francis and beat PC, I think they beat Benet by 2 scores.
Montini +14- Lock of the week 2. PC is all out of sorts. I think their pre-season hype was a bit misleading. Yes they were the runner up in 4A last year but they wouldn't have been in 5A, 6A, 7A and 8A. Montini is on a high, If PC beats them it won't be by 14. I like Montini winning straight up.
