It was not a good football week for my teams last week. The Gaffney Indians is the only one of my teams that won. The Indians made a statement that they are not dead yet by putting together a dominating defensive effort against Dorman winning 14 to 0. Clemson played pretty well in Tallahassee against Florida State but, let it slip away in the 4th quarter losing 49 to 37. The Carolina Panthers played an awful game against the New York Giants losing 36 to 7. Green Bay and Miami both lost their games as well. Hopefully this week will be better for my teams.
My crystal ball worked much better last week, as I went 8 and 2 in my football picks. My record for the season is 33 and 17 for a percentage of .660. Let's look at this weeks picks.
HIGH SCHOOL GAMES
Gaffney @ Wade Hampton..... The Indians made a statement last week with their impressive 14 to 0 win over 6th ranked Dorman. They have a chance to start building a winning streak and they will do just that..... Gaffney 42 Wade Hampton 7

South Pointe @ Northwestern..... This is probably the game of the week in the state this week. I could go either way but, I am going with..... Northwestern 28 South Pointe 20
Chesnee @ Liberty..... Can the Eagles stay on their roll? The answer is HECK YEAH THEY CAN..... Chesnee 30 Liberty 24
Byrnes @ Spartanburg..... It was an easy win for the Vikings last week against Riverside. It is going to be an easy win for the Rebels this week..... Byrnes 42 Spartanburg 10
COLLEGE GAMES
Clemson @ Boston College..... Can the Tigers bounce back after losing to Florida State? The BC Eagles will give them a game but, the Tigers will prevail..... Clemson 31 Boston College 21
South Carolina @ Kentucky..... The Gamecocks haven't really played anybody good so for. This week is no exception, as Kentucky is bad..... South Carolina 38 Kentucky 10
Texas @ Oklahoma State..... This one should be a pretty good one. The Horns are trying to get back up in the National scene and a win here would help..... Texas 23 Oklahoma State 21
NFL GAMES
Carolina @ Atlanta..... The Falcons have been good this season and the Panthers have not. This edition of the I-85 rivalry goes to..... Atlanta 24 Carolina 21
New Orleans @ Green Bay..... Who saw this coming? The Saints and Packers are a combined 1 and 5 on the season. I think the Packers win at home..... Green Bay 27 New Orleans 20
Miami @ Arizona..... Who saw the Cardinals being unbeaten after three weeks? Make it four weeks..... Arizona 20 Miami 10
Until Next Time.

WEEK 5 2012 FOOTBALL PICKS
The Gaffney Indians had the week off last week but, from what I heard they had a tough battle with Open Date. Ha! Ha! just kidding. We did have some very good games last week. In High School games, Greenville won a great game against Greer 24 to 21 and Dorman made a statement by defeating 6th ranked Dutch Fork 45 to 21. In College games, Clemson and South Carolina both won big and Florida continued their domination over Tennessee. In the NFL, Carolina and Miami both got their first wins of the season.
I am glad that my new crystal had a warranty with it when I bought it because I decided to take it back and get another. I went only 5 and 5 in my football picks last week. I am 25 and 15 for the season for a percentage of .625. I expect to do better this week. Let's look at this week's games.
HIGH SCHOOL GAMES
Dorman @ Gaffney..... The Cavaliers looked very impressive last week in their win over Dutch Fork. The Indians had the week off to try to get better with their execution. I fully expect Gaffney to come out and play better but, they will fall short..... Dorman 24 Gaffney 21For a more in depth preview of this game click on the Tribe Blitz link on this page.
Carolina @ Chesnee..... The Eagles are riding high after their big win at Pendleton last week. They will ride a little higher after another win against a pretty good Carolina team..... Chesnee 31 Carolina 20
Pendleton @ Blacksburg..... The Wildcats had a big win over Crescent last week. Can they follow that up with another big win over Pendleton? I don't think so..... Pendleton 23 Blacksburg 14
York @ Rock Hill..... The York Cougars have been very impressive this season. The Rock Hill Bearcats not so much. The Cougars get it done again..... York 20 Rock Hill 10
COLLEGE GAMES
Clemson @ Florida State..... The Game of the Week in the country. Big test for both of these teams in this top 10 showdown. Great game won by..... Florida State 28 Clemson 24
Missouri @ South Carolina..... The Gamecocks should win this game but, I see them being tested by the Tigers..... South Carolina 20 Missouri 17
Arizona @ Oregon..... The Wildcats of Arizona are a good football team. They aren't no where good enough to beat the Ducks..... Oregon 38 Arizona 24
NFL GAMES
New York Jets @ Miami..... I want to pick the Dolphins to win this game. I am still not sold on them even after their win last week. I should be close but, the Phins come up short..... New York Jets 19 Miami 17
Green Bay @ Seattle..... The Packers had a good win over the Bears last week. The Seahawks had a big win over the Cowboys. Seattle gives the Packers a game but..... Green Bay 31 Seattle 20
Houston @ Denver..... The Texans face old nemesis Peyton Manning. They should get him this time while wearing the Broncos uniform..... Houston 24 Denver 20
DID YOU KNOW? This is the first time that South Carolina at Number 7 and Clemson at Number 9 have both been ranked in the top 10 at the same time.
Until Next Time.

WEEK 4 2012 FOOTBALL PICKS
Week 3 of the High School football season had some surprises and some great games. Gaffney was upset at The Reservation 34 to 19 by York, Woodruff hung on to defeat Chesnee 38 to 36, in a game that was much better than I anticipated and Byrnes held off Northwestern 32 to 28 in a great football game. In College football, Clemson and South Carolina both rolled to easy victories over Ball State and East Carolina. It was also the first week of the NFL season and all three of my NFL teams lost.
My new crystal ball was a little cloudy last week as I went 6 and 4 in my football picks. My record for the season is 20 and 10 for a percentage of .667. I am cleaning the ball as we speak and I intend to do better picking games this week. Let's look at this week's picks.
HIGH SCHOOL GAMES
Greer @ Greenville..... This should be one heck of a game at historical Sirrine Stadium. The Yellow Jackets running game should be the difference..... Greer 28 Greenville 24
Dutch Fork @ Dorman..... Dutch Fork comes up from the midlands for a clash with the Cavaliers. Should be a dandy..... Dorman 24 Dutch Fork 21
Chesnee @ Pendleton..... In my opinion the winner of this game will win the Region..... Chesnee 31 Pendleton 28
Blacksburg @ Crescent..... This is another interesting match-up. The Wildcats have lost two close games and the Tigers are unbeaten..... Crescent 20 Blacksburg 14
COLLEGE GAMES
Furman @ Clemson..... The Tigers have their final tune up before their big game at Florida State next week..... Clemson 45 Furman 14
Alabama-Birmingham @ South Carolina..... This one should be like a walk in the park for the Gamecocks..... South Carolina 35 Alabama-Birmingham 10
Florida @ Tennessee..... Both of these teams are unbeaten but, Florida has not looked good and Tennessee has been impressive..... Tennessee 23 Florida 20
NFL GAMES
New Orleans @ Carolina..... This is a big early season game for both, as the loser will be 0 ad 2 to start the season..... Carolina 27 New Orleans 24
Oakland @ Miami..... Which one of these two teams will start 0 and 2? ..... Oakland 20 Miami 17
Dallas @ Seattle..... The Cowboys looked very good in their opener against the Giants. They look good here too..... Dallas 24 Seattle 14
DID YOU KNOW? Only 12% of NFL teams that start the season 0 and 2 make the playoffs.
Until Next Time.

WEEK 3 2012 PICKS
We had some exciting football games last week. It started down in Union County, as the Yellow Jackets trailed Gaffney 21 to 7 with about a minute and a half left and they rallied to tie the game only to see the Indians win it with a 15-yard TD run from reserve RB Jo Jo McGill with 3 seconds left. The Indians won 28 to 21. Greenwood and Dorman had a dog fight in Roebuck and the Eagles beat the Cavaliers 21 to 14. Clemson pulled out a big win over Auburn, at The Georgia Dome, with a strong 4th quarter 26 to 19.
My new crystal ball paid some big dividends in my picks last week as I went 7 and 0. I am now 14 and 6 on the season for a percentage of .700. The picks get a little more difficult this week, as we have opening of the NFL season. Let's look at this week's picks.
