WEEK 6 FOOTBALL PICKS

Week 5 of the football season has come and gone and we had some exciting games and some not so exciting games. Lets look at some of the highlights. In High School, the Gaffney Indians rallied from a 24 to 7 deficit, to defeat Greenville 33 to 31. Chesnee rallied and won 45 to 42 in triple overtime over Chapman. In College, the South Carolina Gamecocks came home from Auburn with a heartbreaking loss to the Tigers, 35 to 27. In the NFL, the Carolina Panthers lost again, as they fell to the Bengals 20 to 7, in a bad football game.

I am going to bring back The Arm Chair Coach Game Ball of The Week this week. I will have a Game Ball of The Week winner for the rest of the football season.This weeks winner is......

********************The ArmChair Coach Game Ball of The Week goes to Gaffney Indians QB DeEdward Burris, as he threw for 336 yards and 4 TD passes and rushed for 1 TD in Gaffney's comeback win over Greenville last Friday night******************************

The ArmChair Coach went 9 and 1 in football picks last weekend. My record for the season is 42 and 8 for a percentage of .840. Lets look at this weeks picks.

HIGH SCHOOL GAMES

J.L. Mann @ Boiling Springs..... The Bulldogs played their best game of the season last week in a win over Mauldin. They will build on that big win with another..... Boiling Springs 24 J.L. Mann 16

Byrnes @ Mauldin..... The Byrnes Rebels defeated Mauldin twice last season. The Mavericks remember and they have had this game circled on their calendar. They play better this week than they did against Boiling Springs, but they come up short..... Byrnes 34 Mauldin 20

Dorman @ Hillcrest..... The Cavaliers are just playing well enough to win. They should win this game big, but will they? The Cavaliers get it done..... Dorman 35 Hillcrest 10

Chesnee @ Liberty..... After playing three emotional games in a row, will the Eagles have anything left? Could this be a trap game? The Eagles will be a little flat, but they will have enough to defeat the Red Devils..... Chesnee 30 Liberty 14

COLLEGE GAMES

Miami @ Clemson..... The last three meetings between the Canes and the Tigers have gone to overtime. I see the Tigers winning a close game in regulation this time..... Clemson 24 Miami 20

Florida @ Alabama..... This monster game is a rematch of last season's SEC Championship Game. The Tide rolled in that one and they will roll in this one too..... Alabama 23 Florida 17

Oklahoma vs Texas @ Dallas..... The Red River shootout should be another great game between these two old rivals. The Sooners have lost the last two to Texas, but should win this one..... Oklahoma 20 Texas 17

NFL GAMES

Carolina @ New Orleans..... I see the Panthers playing better on offense in this game, as Jimmy Clausen has another week of practice with the first team under his belt..... New Orleans 24 Carolina 13

Detroit @ Green Bay..... The Lions have lost 17 straight on the road. Make it 18 straight..... Green Bay 21 Detroit 13

New England @ Miami..... This should be a hard fought game between division rivals. A share of first place is at stake. The Patriots will find away to win at the end..... New England 23 Miami 20

Did You Know? Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney is 2 and 7 in games decided by 7-points or less since he has been the Tigers Head Coach. His overall record at Clemson is 15 and 9, heading into the Tigers game against Miami this weekend.

Until Next Time.
