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

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.
