WEEK 3 FOOTBALL PICKS

There were some very good games and some surprising scores on the schedule last week. This weeks schedule will be even more interesting, as we have some monster games on the College football schedule and we have the start of the NFL season.

The ArmChair Coach went 7 and 3 in football picks last week and I am 17 and 3 for the season for a percentage of .850. Lets look at some of the interesting match-ups in High School, College and the NFL for this week.

HIGH SCHOOL

Gaffney @ Union County..... These two old rivals have been snake bit so far this season. I see the Indians going on the road and bringing home a victory this week..... Gaffney 26 Union County 17 For a more in depth preview of this game go to the Tribe Blitz link on this page.

Greenwood @ Dorman..... Both of these teams defeated Gaffney the last two weeks. The Eagles win was surprising but the Cavaliers win was expected. If Greenwood can get their Option offense going it will be close. The Cavaliers will get it done in the 4th quarter..... Dorman 24 Greenwood 20

Anson County (NC) @ Chesterfield..... This is a border battle that should be just a tune-up for Chesterfield, as they get ready for rival Pageland-Central next week..... Chesterfield 38 Anson County 14

Woodruff @ Chesnee..... These two old rivals are meeting as non-region members this season. The Eagles are 2 and 0 and the Wolverines are 0 and 2. I see Woodruff winning this game because they have played the toughest schedule so far..... Woodruff 31 Chesnee 27

COLLEGE

Georgia @ South Carolina..... Being a Clemson fan I would like nothing better than to see Georgia pound South Carolina. I do not see that happening. I think the Gamecocks are better than Georgia at this point in the season..... South Carolina 20 Georgia 17

Penn State @ Alabama..... This is a very good early season game that will have the atmosphere of a bowl game. This will be a good measuring stick for both teams and I see the Tide winning at home..... Alabama 24 Penn State 21

Miami @ Ohio State..... This is another monster match-up that looks like a bowl game. I see the Buckeyes finding away to win it late..... Ohio State 27 Miami 20

Presbyterian @ Clemson..... Normally I wouldn't pick this game, but being a Clemson fan I had to do it. It would take a total meltdown by the Tigers for them to lose this game. I thought it would be fun to see how close I could come to the final score..... Clemson 56 Presbyterian 6

NFL

Carolina @ NY Giants..... This will be the first regular season game in the New Meadowlands Stadium. The Panthers went through the whole preseason without an offensive TD. They will score an offensive TD in this game, but they will come up short on the scoreboard..... NY Giants 23 Carolina 16

Miami @ Buffalo..... This is the best time of the season for the Dolphins to travel to Buffalo, because of the warm weather. The Bills will be unveiling their new secret weapon in C.J. Spiller, but the Dolphins are the better team and should get the victory..... Miami 23 Buffalo 13

Until Next Time.
