WEEK 10 FOOTBALL PICKS

We had another exciting week of football last week. Lets look at some of the highlights. In High School, the Gaffney Indians rolled to victory over Lancaster, 31 to 0 and Blacksburg came up a little short in their showdown with Landrum, 25 to 22. In College, the Clemson Tigers looked good in their 27 to 13 victory over Georgia Tech. In the NFL, the Carolina Panthers got their first win of the season, 23 to 20 over San Francisco and the Green Bay Packers finally defeated Brett Favre, 28 to 24.

*****The ArmChair Coach Game Ball Of The Week goes to Carolina Panthers QB Matt Moore, as he passed for a career high 308 yards and 2TDs in leading the Panthers to their first win of the season*****

The ArmChair Coach went 9 and 1 in football picks last week. My record for the season is 73 and 17 for a percentage of .811. Lets look at this weeks picks.

HIGH SCHOOL GAMES

Gaffney @ Northwestern..... This is one of the two biggest games in the state this week. The Indians have been on a roll since starting the season 1 and 2, as they have won 6 in a row. The Trojans are unbeaten and ranked NO. 2 in the state and they have rolled over everyone on their schedule. The game for the Region 3 4A Championship could go either way and I have gone back and forth all week on who I think will win. In a game this even, I am going to go with the home team..... Northwestern 31 Gaffney 28

Byrnes @ Dorman..... This is the other of the two biggest games in the state this week. This is a rematch of the Division 1 4A State Championship game from last season. The Rebels appear to be on a roll since two early season losses. Their level of competition has not been very good the last few weeks. The Cavaliers are still unbeaten and ranked NO.1 in the state and they have rolled into this game with little resistance. These are two very good football teams that don't like each other. I have been going back and forth on this game all week as well. With a game this close I am going with the home team..... Dorman 24 Byrnes 21

Christ Church @ Landrum..... This is another huge game, as it is the game for the Region 2 1A Championship. The Cardinals are at home and they will play hard. I expect a close game with Christ Church coming out on top..... Christ Church 31 Landrum 21

McBee @ Chesterfield..... The Chesterfield Rams have been on a roll since region play started. They will roll to their 5th straight win and the Region Championship..... Chesterfield 34 McBee 14

COLLEGE GAMES

Clemson @ Boston College..... The Tigers are playing better and they need this one, on the road, to stay in contention in the ACC Atlantic Division. They will get it done..... Clemson 31 Boston College 13

Tennessee @ South Carolina..... Steve Spurrier would love to lay 50 points on the Vols this week. They probably won't, but they will get the win..... South Carolina 34 Tennessee 21

Georgia vs Florida @ Jacksonville..... The Bulldogs are playing much better, after a slow start. The Gators have lost their last two games and are struggling on offense. It would not be shocking for the Bulldogs to win this game. I just don't see Florida losing three in a row..... Florida 23 Georgia 20

NFL GAMES

Carolina @ St. Louis..... The Panthers got their first win last week against San Francisco. I just have a hunch, that they will make it 2 in a row..... Carolina 20 St. Louis 16

Miami @ Cincinnati..... The Dolphins have played better on the road this season. They already have wins in Minnesota and Green Bay. They can add Cincinnati to their list of road wins..... Miami 27 Cincinnati 23

Green Bay @ NY Jets..... The Packers got a big win over Brett Favre and the Vikings last week. They need this one as well. They play well, but come up short..... NY Jets 24 Green Bay 17

Until Next Time.
