The things that I took from last week's football games were Riverside is probably the worst 4A team that I have seen play, South Carolina gift wrapped three first half TDs for Florida and the Green Bay Packers are finally beginning to put it together and play like they are suppose to. It is hard to believe that we are this far along in the football season. The High School regular season is just about over, as they are getting ready for the playoffs to begin in a couple of weeks. The College season is over half way done and the NFL season is in week 8 this week. Time sure does fly when you are having fun.
I went 7 and 3 in my football picks last week. My record is 59 and 31 for the season for 66%. Let's look at this week's picks.
HIGH SCHOOL GAMES
Gaffney @ Boiling Springs..... These two teams met twice last season with the Tribe winning both times big. The Bulldogs always seem to play Gaffney tough especially at home. This game should go down to the 4th quarter..... Gaffney 24 Boiling Springs 20
For a more in depth preview of this game click on the Tribe Blitz link on this page.
Blacksburg @ Powdersville..... The Wildcats are coming off of a disappointing loss to Chesnee last week. This is the last time that Powdersville will have to get their programs first varsity win. They will have to wait untill next season..... Blacksburg 34 Powdersville 14
Byrnes @ Dorman..... The winner of this game will be the Region 2 4A champs if Gaffney loses again this season. It should be a 4th quarter game..... Byrnes 31 Dorman 23
Crescent @ Chesnee..... The Eagles won the Region Championship last week with their win over Blacksburg. They must guard against a letdown against the Tigers..... Chesnee 27 Crescent 16
COLLEGE GAMES
Tennessee @ South Carolina..... The Gamecocks are back home licking their wounds from two tough road losses. They should start getting well..... South Carolina 27 Tennessee 14
Florida vs Georgia..... The worlds largest cocktail party should be a pretty good one. The winner will probably be the SEC East Champions..... Florida 24 Georgia 14
Notre Dame @ Oklahoma..... Will the luck of the Irish continue this week? I see it running out and them coming back down to earth..... Oklahoma 28 Notre Dame 17
NFL GAMES
Carolina @ Chicago..... The Panthers just can't win a close ball game. They will have another chance this week but, they will loose another one..... Chicago 20 Carolina 17
Jacksonville @ Green Bay..... The Packers seem to be getting it together. They should roll this week against the Jags..... Green Bay 34 Jacksonville 13
Miami @ NY Jets..... Can the surprising Dolphins win again? I say why not..... Miami 20 NY Jets 18
DID YOU KNOW? If the Gaffney Indians win this week @ Boiling Springs and next week @ home against Spartanburg they will be Region 2 4A Champions. They hold the tiebreaker over Byrnes and Dorman because of wins over them.
Until Next Time.

WEEK 9 2012 FOOTBALL PICKS
Week 8 of the football season had some very surprising results. In High School games, the upset of the week was Gaffney beating Nationally 3rd Ranked Byrnes 22 to 18 at The Reservation. Spartanburg defeated Boiling Springs 20 to 17 in overtime and a struggling Clinton team defeated Union County. In College games, Oklahoma blew out Texas and LSU knocked off South Carolina. In the NFL, the Green Bay Packers got back on track by beating unbeaten Houston.
With all of the upsets last weekend I went 4 and 6 in my football picks last week. My record for the season is 52 and 28 for 65%. Let's look at this weeks games.
HIGH SCHOOL GAMES
Gaffney @ Riverside..... The Indians are coming off their huge win over Byrnes. Where will their emotions be? The Warriors are a struggling football team but, they realize that an undermanned Wade Hampton team upset Gaffney three weeks ago. I think the Indians will be a little flat but, they willwin big..... Gaffney 42 Riverside 0

Chesnee @ Blacksburg..... This is a huge football game for both of these programs. Neither team has won a Region Championship for several years. The winner of this game will win the Region Championship. Should be a good one..... Blacksburg 20 Chesnee 17
Easley @ Greenwood..... This is a huge game in Region 1 4A. The Eagles have dominated this region for several seasons and they should move one step closer to winning it again..... Greenwood 24 Easley 14
Dorman @ Boiling Springs..... The Cavaliers have been on a roll since their loss to Gaffney. The Bulldogs are coming off of overtime loss to Spartanburg. Should be a good one..... Dorman 27 Boiling Springs 21
COLLEGE GAMES
Virginia Tech @ Clemson..... This is a rematch of last season's ACC Title Game. The Tigers won it and they also beat the Hokies during the regular season. They will win this one too..... Clemson 34 Virginia Tech 17
South Carolina @ Florida..... Another tough road game for the Gamecocks. They were dominated last week by LSU even though their defense kept them in the game. Their defense will keep them in this game as well but, they will come up short again..... Florida 17 South Carolina 10
Kansas State @ West Virginia..... Huge game in the Big 12. Unbeaten Wildcats are rolling and the Mountaineers are coming off first loss of the season. I see the Mountaineers getting back on track at home..... West Virginia 28 Kansas State 24
NFL GAMES
Dallas @ Carolina..... The Panthers are 1 and 4 but, they have lost three games buy a total of twelve points. Dallas has been Dallas a team that continues to underachieve..... Carolina 23 Dallas 20
Green Bay @ St. Louis..... The Packers played like the Packers last week and they have a chance to string together some wins and get back into their divisional race..... Green Bay 31 St. Louis 21
Baltimore @ Houston..... The Ravens are a very injured football team. The Texans are coming off loss to the Packers. I see the Texans bouncing back this week..... Houston 17 Baltimore 13
Until Next Time.

WEEK 8 2012 FOOTBALL PICKS
The theme for last weeks football games should be STATEMENT WEEK. The Gaffney Indians made a statement with their win over Mauldin, that they aren't dead yet. The Chesnee Eagles made the statement that they are the team to beat in their region. The South Carolina Gamecocks made a statement that they are a serious SEC Title contender, with their blow out of Georgia. The Clemson Tigers made a statement that they are not dead in their quest to win the ACC Atlantic Division, with their win over Georgia Tech. The Carolina Panthers made a statement that they are not a good football team right now after falling to 1 and 4 after losing to Seattle.
I had another strong week in my football picks last week going 7 and 3. My record for the season is 48 and 22. I have been 69% right in my picks for the season thus far. Let's look at this weeks picks.
HIGH SCHOOL GAMES
Byrnes @ Gaffney..... As fans of these two schools know this is a very heated rivalry. The Indians have won two of the last three meetings but, the one they lost was the State Championship Game last December. They haven't forgotten the hurt and they will be inspired to play Friday night. The Indians will play well but, they will come up short..... Byrnes 28 Gaffney 14
For a more in depth preview of this match up, click on the Tribe Blitz link on this page.
Blacksburg @ Landrum..... The Wildcats are playing very well right now. A win here will put them up against Chesnee next week for the Region Championship. NUFF SAID..... Blacksburg 27 Landrum 20
Boiling Springs @ Spartanburg..... It has been a disappointing season for the Vikings. The disappointment
continues..... Boiling Springs 27 Spartanburg 21
Union County @ Clinton..... It has been a very disappointing season for the Clinton Red Devils. It will get even more disappointing this week..... Union County 35 Clinton 24
COLLEGE GAMES
South Carolina @ LSU..... Can the Gamecocks follow up their big win over Georgia with a huge road win? They will win a close one..... South Carolina 17 LSU 14
Texas @ Oklahoma..... Longhorns and Sooners, it don't get much better than this. Should be a close one..... Texas 20 Oklahoma 16
North Carolina @ Miami..... The Hurricanes are horrible on the road and pretty good at home. They are at home this week..... Miami 28 North Carolina 21
NFL GAME
St. Louis @ Miami..... The Dolphins have been a hard team for me to figure out this season. I pick them to lose and they win and I pick them to win and they lose. I am going to try picking them to win again and see what happens..... Miami 20 St. Louis 17
Green Bay @ Houston..... The Packers have been disappointing this season. They need to scrap the trying to be balanced junk and do what they do best, THROW THE FOOTBALL..... Green Bay 28 Houston 24
Dallas @ Baltimore..... I have figured one thing out about the Cowboys. SAME OLE TONY ROMO..... Baltimore 24 Dallas 20
Until Next Time.

WEEK 7 2012 FOOTBALL PICKS
There were some good games last week, some blowouts and a shocker. In High School games, South Pointe won an outstanding game against Northwestern 28 to 25, Byrnes blew out Spartanburg 49 to 7 and the shocker of the week was Wade Hampton upsetting Gaffney 17 to 10. In College games, Clemson won a big road game at Boston College 45 to 31 and South Carolina won a big road game at Kentucky 38 to 17. In the NFL, Carolina lost a heart breaker to Atlanta 30 to 28 and Green Bay won a squeaker over New Orleans 28 to 27.
I went 8 and 2 for the second consecutive week in my football picks. My record for the season is 41 and 19 for a percentage of .683. Let's look at this week's picks.
HIGH SCHOOL GAMES
Mauldin @ Gaffney..... The Mavericks are a homecoming opponent for the second week in a row, as they lost to Dorman on the Cavalier's homecoming last week. The Gaffney Indians are a mad football team after losing to lowly Wade Hampton last week. The Indians bounce back and get a tough win..... Gaffney 28 Mauldin 20
For a more in depth preview of this game click on the Tribe Blitz link on this page.
Liberty @ Blacksburg..... It is also homecoming in Blacksburg Friday night and the Wildcats are playing well. They get a hard fought victory..... Blacksburg 20 Liberty 14
Landrum @ Chesnee..... This is a good rivalry and it is a region game this year. The Eagles hope to avenge last years loss to the Cardinals..... Chesnee 31 Landrum 17
Spartanburg @ Dorman..... This is always an intense and entertaining football game between big rivals. This one should be close..... Dorman 23 Spartanburg 14
COLLEGE GAMES
Georgia Tech @ Clemson..... Georgia Tech is always a thorn in Clemson's side and this year will be no different. The Tigers will find a way to win this one though..... Clemson 35 Georgia Tech 27
Georgia @ South Carolina..... This game could go either way. The Gamecocks will finally play a quality football team and they will win a close one..... South Carolina 24 Georgia 21
L.S.U. @ Florida..... The Gators are playing better than L.S.U. right now. The Gators have been impressive since the second half of the Tennessee game and the Tigers have struggled the last two weeks. I see a close game won by..... Florida 20 L.S.U. 17
NFL GAMES
Seattle @ Carolina..... The Panthers need a win after their heart breaking loss to Atlanta last week. I see them spoiling Sidney Rice's return to the Carolinas..... Carolina 24 Seattle 17
Miami @ Cincinnati..... The Dolphins have played better than expected but, they need another win to show it. They lose another close one..... Cincinnati 21 Miami 17
Green Bay @ Indianapolis..... The Packers pulled out a close one last week but, something is still wrong with their offense. Look for them to start playing better and get another win..... Green Bay 28 Indianapolis 17
DID YOU KNOW? The South Carolina Gamecocks have beaten Georgia two years in a row. They have never beaten the Bulldogs three times in a row in their football history.
Until Next Time.
