SPORTS WEEKEND PREVIEW ( 3rd Edition )

HIGH SCHOOL GAME OF THE WEEK

Greenwood @ Spartanburg..... Last season the Vikings surprised Greenwood with a close win on the road. Spartanburg won a close defensive battle 13 to 11. The Spartanburg offense is better than last years and their defense is still solid. The Vikings were defeated by a good Sumter team last week in their home opener and looks to turn things around this week in front of their home fans. Greenwood lost their first game of the season to Dorman last week. The Eagles have a new Head Coach this year but are still a very good team as they look to bounce back this week. I look for another close game between these two 4A powers but with more points scored..... Spartanburg 27 Greenwood 23

OTHER HIGH SCHOOL GAMES

Chesterfield @ Buford..... This could be a trap game for the Chesterfield Rams. The Rams had a big win against Cheraw last week and has a big game against Pageland-Central looming next week. The Rams will be down but they have enough for the win..... Chesterfield 30 Buford 19

Boiling Srings @ Aiken..... Boiling Srings lost a close one at home to these guys last season and they are looking for revenge..... Boiling Springs 24 Aiken 16

Woodruff @ Chapman..... Woodruff is coming off a big emotional win last week and could be down this week. The Wolverines still have enough for the win..... Woodruff 41 Chapman 24

T.L. Hanna @ Gaffney..... The Indians won big at Hanna last season and will win big at home this season..... Gaffney 38 T.L. Hanna 7

Nation Ford @ Chesnee..... The Eagles defeated their 4A opponents last season by 21. The game will be a little bit closer this season but the Eagles will win again..... Chesnee 34 Nation Ford 20

Dorman @ Lexington..... The Cavaliers make the trip to the midlands and come home with a big win..... Dorman 38 Lexington 16

Woodland @ Byrnes..... Why is Woodland playing this game? GET REAL! ..... Byrnes 56 Woodland 6

COLLEGE GAME OF THE WEEK

Boston College @ Clemson..... This game always seems to be close. The Tigers won a close game at Boston College last season to give Dabo Swinney his first win as Interim Coach. The two previous seasons Boston College won in over time. BC comes into the game 2 and 0 with victories over lesser opponents. Clemson comes into the game 1 and 1 after losing a heart breaker at Georgia Tech last week. I see the Tigers feeding off the momentum from last weeks 2nd half performance and winning at home against the Eagles..... Clemson 27 Boston College 17

OTHER COLLEGE GAMES

Florida Atlantic @ South Carolina..... I look for the Gamecocks to play a more complete game in their home opener..... South Carolina 34 Florida Atlantic 13

Nebraska @ Virginia Tech..... The Hokies should win this game late on a special teams play. BEAMER BALL LIVES! ..... Virginia Tech 17 Nebraska 14

East Carolina @ North Carolina..... The Tar Heels need to play better to win against the fired up Pirates. They will..... North Carolina 24 East Carolina 17

Tennessee @ Florida..... This will not be a typical Tennessee vs Florida game. The Gators roll to an easy victory..... Florida 45 Tennessee 14

Duke @ Kansas..... Duke beat Army last week for first win. They will not get win number two this week..... Kansas 34 Duke 17

Middle Tennessee State @ Maryland..... Maryland should win this game but it won't be easy..... Maryland 20 Middle Tennessee State 17

NFL GAME OF THE WEEK

N.Y. Giants @ Dallas..... These two teams do not like each other. This should be a very hard hitting game and playing at home the Cowboys should win. I see Tony Romo leading the Dallas Cowboys to a big early season victory..... Dallas 24 N.Y. Giants 21

OTHER NFL GAMES

Carolina @ Atlanta..... The Panthers play better but come up short..... Atlanta 27 Carolina 24

Cincinnatti @ Green Bay..... The Packers win big at home in this game..... Green Bay 31 Cincinnatti 14

Minnesota @ Detroit..... I see Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson having bid daya in this one..... Minnesota 30 Detroit 13

New England @ N.Y. Jets..... Tom Brady has a big day, Mark Sanchez does not..... New England 37 N.Y. Jets 10

Enjoy your Sports Week End. Until Monday
