Like all your picks. Think the St Marks vs St Elizabeth contest will be closer.

If Sals play mistake free football, and being one week better, doesn't matter if Jason Garrett is coaching on the other sideline.



LSU covers 14
Penn State WINS out right, (that Penn State coach is one my Uncle should hate)
ND wins, stamps it mid 4th qtr. - I LOVE Brian Kelly
Texas wins by 10

First Howard doesn't get to play a homecoming game last year because of Dickinson, now senior night this year with Christiana. Unbelievable.
 
Following Sean Greene way of thinking, if Christiana played on Monday, how in the hell do they expect to play a game on Thursday???

Honestly, who is in charge of these schools???
 
They knew when they rescheduled the Glasgow game to Monday, they knew they were playing on Thursday.

You don't wait until after you show up at the field to cancel if you don't want to play 2 games that close together.

Something had to happen in the locker room or on the bus to cause this to happen.

Sad for Howard that their senior night got ruined. Their homecoming this year was against Dickinson which was moved from 7:30 to 4:30 due to other issues which sort of ruined the homecoming event as many parents could not get there in time.

Plus all the wasted cost that Howard probably has to bear because it is their home game

I’m going with StE on Saturday versus the Spartan. St. Marks just lost there starting guard on Thursday and I hear the shield is broken in Sparta.
 
SC defense is for real.. I am starting to come around to the idea they can win it all..[/QUOTE
Do you really believe that they can shut down Middletown or Hodgson? Hodgson slreaal smoked them once. They do have a great defense but it's untested Vs the top 2 offenses in the state that are very balanced. I don't think they can put up enough points against either team.
 
I don't know ron..I wouldn't say HVT smoked them. HVT did score 26 but that was week 1 and HVT has scored 40 plus on everyone else they played averaging 47 per game. Central O is averaging 29 pts per game and D giving up 4.5 pts per game. I dont think they will give up more than 24 vs HVT or MT but I agree it will be if their O can score 4 times or meet their average..we will see..I like their chances though..I don't think its a slam dunk MT will walk away with it though.. I still think MT will win it just think Central or HVT has a chance.. Dont think Dover has the D for the other 3
