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

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.
