WEEK 8 FOOTBALL PICKS

Time sure does fly when you are having fun. Here we are in Week 8 of the football season already. Lets look at some of the highlights from Week 7. In High School, the Gaffney Indians defeated a very good Clover team 41 to 27 and Dorman pounded Boiling Springs 38 to 6. In College, the upset of the year happened in Columbia, as the South Carolina Gamecocks beat NO1 Alabama 35 to 21. In the NFL, the Carolina Panthers continued their dismal season, as they fell to the Chicago Bears 23 to 6. The Panthers offense is probably the worst I have ever seen in the NFL.

**********The ArmChair Coach Game Ball Of The Week goes to the South Carolina Gamecocks for their upset of NO. 1 Ranked Alabama, 35 to 21**********

The ArmChair Coach went 6 and 4 in football picks last weekend. My record for the season is 57 and 13 for a percentage of .814. Lets look at this weeks picks.

South Carolina @ Kentucky..... This is a possible trap game for the Gamecocks. They will be emotionally down after big win over Alabama. They will find a way to win in the 4th quarter..... South Carolina 24 Kentucky 20

Mississippi State @ Florida..... The Bulldogs have a history of playing the Gators tough. Florida will be mad after two straight losses..... Florida 31 Mississippi State 17
