WEEK 9 FOOTBALL PICKS

We had another exciting weekend of football last week. Lets look at some of the highlights. In High School, the Gaffney Indians rolled past Rock Hill 28 to 3 and the Chesnee Eagles lost a heart breaker to Palmetto 14 to 9. In College, the South Carolina Gamecocks were bitten by the upset bug, as they fell to Kentucky 31 to 28 and the Clemson Tigers stopped their three game losing streak, as they defeated Maryland 31 to 7. In the NFL, the Miami Dolphins defeated the Green Bay Packers 23 to 20 in overtime.

*****The ArmChair Coach Game Ball Of The Week goes to Clemson DE Da'Quan Bowers, as he had 3 sacks and 4 tackles-for-loss in the Tigers win over Maryland*****

The ArmChair Coach went 7 and 3 in football picks last weekend. My record for the season is 64 and 16 for a percentage of .800. Lets look at this weeks picks.

HIGH SCHOOL GAMES

Gaffney @ Lancaster..... The Indians are on the road for the first time in 5 weeks. This could be a trap game for Gaffney, as they have a huge game next week against Northwestern. I see the Indians not looking past the Bruins, as they roll..... Gaffney 34 Lancaster 17

Pendleton @ Chesnee..... This is another huge game for the Eagles. They came up short in their big game against Palmetto last week. They are due to win a big game..... Chesnee 27 Pendleton 20

Boiling Springs @ Riverside..... This is a big game for the Bulldogs in their quest to return to the playoffs. They will get it done..... Boiling Springs 31 Riverside 21

Landrum @ Blacksburg..... This is a huge game for both teams. Already having a Region loss, the Wildcats need this game to have any hope of winning the Region Championship. They come close, but lose a tight one..... Landrum 24 Blacksburg 21

COLLEGE GAMES

Georgia Tech @ Clemson..... The Tigers will be fired up for this one, big time. The Jackets have had their number. It is time for the Tigers to win a close game..... Clemson 31 Georgia Tech 27

South Carolina @ Vanderbilt..... The Gamecocks will be mad after losing to Kentucky last week. The Commodores usually play them tough, but not this year..... South Carolina 34 Vanderbilt 10

L.S.U. @ Auburn..... Can anyone slow down the Auburn offense? When will L.S.U.'s luck run out? In this battle of the Tigers, I see the ones from the plains of Alabama getting the win..... Auburn 35 L.S.U. 24

NFL GAMES

San Francisco @ Carolina..... Two bad teams. The 49ers got their first win last week. The Panthers had an open date. I believe the Panthers will get their first win..... Carolina 20 San Francisco 17

Pittsburg @ Miami..... This should be a tough tight game. Normally, I would go with the home team in a game this close, but I have a feeling the Steelers will find a way to win..... Pittsburg 24 Miami 20

Minnesota @ Green Bay..... The Packers are beat up and need a big win. The Vikings got a big win over Dallas last week. I see Brett Favre staying unbeaten against the Packers..... Minnesota 27 Green Bay 23

DID YOU KNOW? The Carolina Panthers last victory was against the New York Giants in last seasons final game.

Until Next Time.
