WEEK 7 FOOTBALL PICKS

Here we are in Week 7 of the football season already. Lets look back at some of the highlights from Week 6. In High School, Boiling Springs rolled over J.L. Mann to set up their showdown with Dorman this week. In College, Clemson lost to Miami 30 to 21 and Alabama pounded Florida 31 to 6, to show the nation that they are the team to beat again this season. In the NFL, the Carolina Panthers took the Super Bowl Champion Saints down to the wire, before losing 16 to 14.

*************The ArmChair Coach Game Ball Of The Week goes to Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee for his 59-yard field goal on the last play of the game to beat the Indiannapolis Colts 31 to 28*************


The ArmChair Coach went 9 and 1 in football picks last weekend. My record for the season is 51 and 9 for a percentage of .850. Lets look at this weekends picks.

HIGH SCHOOL GAMES

Clover @ Gaffney..... This is the third meeting between these two programs. The two previous games have been 4th quarter games and I expect this game to be the same. The Indians will pull away late..... Gaffney 33 Clover 21

Dorman @ Boiling Springs..... This will be a measuring stick to see how much the Bulldogs have improved. They will play well, but the Cavaliers will hold them off..... Dorman 27 Boiling Springs 21

Northwestern @ Spartanburg..... The Trojans have rolled through their schedule for an unbeaten record. The Vikings have been up and down and they need a signature win to build momentum for the Region 3 schedule. The Trojans should pull away late..... Northwestern 28 Spartanburg 17

Blacksburg @ Christ Church..... The Wildcats have won four in a row, but this will be a measuring stick game to see if they are contenders or pretenders. They should play them close on the road..... Christ Church 35 Blacksburg 21

COLLEGE GAMES

Clemson @ North Carolina..... This is a very big ACC game for both teams. The Tigers and the Heels have each lost a conference game and can't afford to start the ACC season 0 and 2. The Tigers have been close the last two weeks against two quality opponents. They will break through with a huge road win in Chapel Hill..... Clemson 27 North Carolina 20

Alabama @ South Carolina..... The Crimson Tide plays their third straight against a ranked opponent. They could be a little flat starting out but they will get it together. The Gamecocks have had two weeks to prepare and will play well. The Tide will take control in the second half..... Alabama 28 South Carolina 13

Florida State @ Miami..... This is a huge game in the ACC and a huge rivalry game. It should be a great football game. I see the Canes and Noles going back and forth with the Canes scoring last..... Miami 29 Florida State 24

NFL GAMES

Chicago @ Carolina..... The Panthers played better last week, as their offense scored two TDs in their loss to the Saints. It wouldn't surprise me to see Carolina finally get one in the win column, but I think the Bears will win a close one..... Chicago 17 Carolina 13

Green Bay @ Washington..... I think the Packers are the better team, but I have a feeling the Redskins will find a way to win at home..... Washington 20 Green Bay 17

Tennessee @ Dallas..... The Cowboys got their first win in their last game and I see them getting their second win this week against the Titans..... Dallas 23 Tennessee 17

Until Next Time.
