WEEK 3 FOOTBALL PICKS (2011)

The games last week were both interesting and exciting. In High School, Gaffney pounded Greenwood 47 to 21 and Spartanburg defeated Dorman 27 to 14. In College, South Carolina and Clemson struggled early, but both won going away. We kick up the Football Picks another notch this week, as we start the NFL season. ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

The ArmChair Coach went 6 and 4 in football picks last week. My record for the season is 21 and 9 for a percentage of .700%. Lets look at this weeks picks.

HIGH SCHOOL GAMES

Union County @ Gaffney..... This could be the ultimate trap game for the Gaffney Indians. They are coming off two huge wins and they have Byrnes next week. I see the Indians winning this one even if they play their "B" game..... Gaffney 45 Union County 7

Sumter @ Spartanburg..... The Vikings are coming off a huge win over Dorman last week. Could this be a trap game for them? I don't think so..... Spartanburg 23 Sumter 7

Chesnee @ Woodruff..... On paper this should be a mismatch. The game is not played on paper but, it should still be a lopsided Woodruff victory..... Woodruff 48 Chesnee 14

Latta @ Blacksburg..... Latta makes the long bus ride up to Cherokee County to play the Blacksburg Wildcats. The ride home will be much longer..... Blacksburg 29 Latta 14

COLLEGE GAMES

Wofford @ Clemson..... The Tigers could have some problems stopping the Terriers option attack. In the end Clemson should roll..... Clemson 41 Wofford 17

South Carolina @ Georgia..... This is a huge early game in the SEC East. It will be a huge early SEC win for the Gamecocks..... South Carolina 34 Georgia 24

Alabama @ Penn State..... This should be a good measuring stick for both of these storied programs. I think the Tide will roll..... Alabama 28 Penn State 17

NFL GAMES

Carolina @ Arizona..... The Cam Newton era starts for Carolina with a road loss..... Arizona 24 Carolina 17

New Orleans @ Green Bay..... This is a very intriguing match-up between the last two Super Bowl Champions. I see the Packers pulling this one out late..... Green Bay 24 New Orleans 21

New England @ Miami..... The Dolphins need to play better at home this season. They get a chance to make an early statement but, they don't get it done..... New England 27 Miami 17

THE ARMCHAIR COACH'S SPORTS TRIVIA QUESTION

How many NFL Championships have the Green Bay Packers won?

Until Next Time.
