WEEK 7 PICK EM'S & GOTW/NOTABLE GAMES (2017)
« on: October 08, 2017, 01:26:59 pm »
Week 7 means the playoff picture is starting to get a little clearer. All I can say is there are going to be some good teams that don't make it in and that is going to make for some really great Post Season Tournament matchups. As always all in fun guys and best of luck to everyone this coming week.

Division 1
Bixby White vs Verdigris (Bixby White) Bixby White looks to make it 2 straight.
FT Gibson vs BA Platinum (FT Gibson) **GOTW** FT Gibson has a HUGE game next week to decide the top spot in the division. This game will be a lot better if the 2 RB's from Platinum are able to play.
Owasso Black vs Sapulpa Blue (Owasso Black) This game is will be a pretty good one I feel. I would like to watch it myself.
Sequoyah vs Hilldale (Hilldale) Always rolling with my Hornets. Having locked up a playoff spot the Hornets have to finish strong if they want the #2 seed in their division.
Union Red vs Tyaa White (Tyaa White) Tyaa is racing towards another undefeated season. A HUGE game with Ft Gibson looms next week.

Division 2
Bartlesville vs Jenks Maroon (Jenks Maroon) Bartlesville will fight hard but, Jenks Maroon is a tough out.
BA White vs Collinsville (Collinsville) **GOTW** A BA White win locks up the 3rd playoff spot. A Collinsville win keeps their playoff hopes alive. This will be a great game to watch!
Muskogee vs Union Black (Union Black) Union Black looks like they are a really tough out!
Bixby Red vs Sapulpa White (Bixby Red) Bixby Red keeps rolling right along!
Claremore vs Wagoner (Wagoner) This one will be a pretty good matchup.

Division 3
Berryhill vs Coweta White (Berryhill) Should be a good game between 2 scrappy teams!
BA Black vs Catoosa Green (BA Black) Catoosa has a tough little team but, BA Black is a MONSTER!
McAlester vs Bixby Blue (Bixby Blue) Bixby Blue looks to make it 3 straight.
Union Silver vs Pryor (Union Silver) **Non-Division** Pryor is a tough team. A win here would be HUGE!
Glenpool Blue vs Skiatook (Glenpool Blue) **GOTW**  Skiatook started a really tough stretch this past weekend. It doesn't get any easier these next few weeks. A couple of wins could upset the cart.

Division 4
BA Gold vs Lincoln Christian (Lincoln Christian)  A win here keeps BA Gold's playoff hopes alive. A loss ends them. Rest assured that both teams will come to play.
Edmond vs Norman Timberwolves (Edmond) **GOTW** WOW! This should be a great game!
Jenks White vs Norman Tigers (Jenks White) Jenks White has been hard to figure out. They get back on track this week.
Owasso White vs Glenpool White (Glenpool White) This a good matchup for both teams.
Choctaw vs Stillwater (Choctaw) Choctaw has it's eyes set on the #3 playoff spot.

Division 5
Bartlesville White vs Owasso Red (Owasso Red) Owasso Red has had some tough losses this year. Nobody has ran away from them in any game thus far.
BA Silver vs Catoosa Black (BA Silver) BA Silver looking to pick up win #2 on the season.
Coweta Black vs Bishop Kelly (Coweta Black) Coweta Black comes into this one flying high after knocking off previously unbeaten Tyaa Blue. That was a great win for the Tigers.
Union Silver vs Pryor (Union Silver) **Non-Division** Pryor is a tough team. A win here would be HUGE!
Tyaa Blue vs Sand Springs (Tyaa Blue) **GOTW** Tyaa Blue doesn't lose often. This is another big time game. More on this in a bit.


GOTW BREAKDOWNS & PREDICITIONS

FT GIBSON VS BA PLATINUM -
FT Gibson has been one of the biggest surprises of the season thus far. They are locked into the playoffs no matter what at this point which is a nice season for anyone but, the Tigers aren't looking to stop there. They are itching to prove to everyone that they are the real deal. They haven't given up many scores this season on defense and on offense all they have done is score touchdowns. An early season shutout victory over what is a much improved Owasso Black team looks even better now. With that being said these next few weeks will tell the tale of just how good they really are. They can't look past this BA Platinum team to the showdown next weekend with TYAA White and knowing the coaches like I do I can promise you that will not happen. BA Platinum has had the injury bug bite them this season. I hate nothing more than to see any of our little guys get hurt. This game will hinge on if they get their 2 RB's back and healthy. If they are able to play then this will be a ballgame and if they are not I think FT Gibson rolls. BA is very well coached and I believe a much better team than their record indicates. A win here would be season defining and a nice win to go into the Post Season Tournament if they choose to do so. I am going to assume both backs play here. MY PREDICITION:FT GIBSON WINS 19 - 12

BA WHITE VS COLLINSVILLE -
D2 is in the discussion for toughest divisions this year. These 2 teams have both had really good seasons up to this point. If BA wins then the playoffs teams are set. However a Collinsville win here throws a wrench in everyone's plans and we all have to break out the calculators to do some figuring! As #7 goes so, goes Collinsville has been the story the past few seasons but, I really believe those Lee boys and #99 don't get the credit they deserve in making the team what it is. They are very well coached and if they should lose this game will be a threat to win the Postseason Tournament should they choose to do so. They aren't even thinking Postseason Tournament right now because they intend to make the Playoffs. BA White will have something to say about that though. We all know ol' Cowboy is the work horse that turns this teams wheels. He is a special player but, you don't keep a team like Bixby Red out of the end zone on offense with just one kid. BA seems like they are locked and loaded and having already beaten a tough Union Black team in the 1st game of the season as I said earlier a victory here locks them into the Playoffs as a #3 seed. This game will come down to who plays better defense against the other teams stud. I think it is a close one. MY PREDICITION: COLLINSVILLE WINS A NAILBITER 13-12

GLENPOOL BLUE VS SKIATOOK -
Glenpool Blue comes in with a playoff spot already assured. These guys do their homework and are very well coached. Haven't got to see #20 since the scrimmages but, I assume he has done nothing but, get better. They have already matched up with some of the best in our grade and put up good showings in every instance. Skiatook comes in looking to prove that they deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the top teams in this grade. IF they could pull out a W here they would definitely grab everyone's attention. If they lose then they are eliminated from playoff contention and would be added to the short list of teams to beat in the Postseason Tournament should they elect to play in it. MY PREDICITION: GLENPOOL BLUE WINS 26-6

EDMOND VS NORMAN TIMBERWOLVES -
I haven't got to see these Timberwolves at all but, they may be the least talked about good team in the grade. Looking their wins they have some impressive ones. After suffering an early season 19-0 loss to Lincoln Christian they seemed to have righted the ship and strung together 5 straight setting this game up for the #1 spot in D4. Gotta love those big ballgames! I finally got to lay eyes on Edmond yesterday and talk with their HC in Owasso for just a bit. They are impressive looking group of boys. Good size and #7 looks like a stud. They are very well coached and played a physical brand of football. I expect this game to be a slobberknocker with the winner ultimately being decided by the coach that has the best gameplan. I would really like to see this one live and in color. MY PREDCITION: EDMONDS WINS 14-13

TYAA BLUE VS SAND SPRINGS -
If you have followed our grade closely these last few years then this game would definitely be on your list of "must watch" games. These 2 teams have somewhat of a rivalry going in the sense of it seems like they have played each other a bunch over the past 3 years and each and every time they step on the field it seems like the game has been a nail biter. I don't know how but, I got lucky enough to see 3 of them in person and I enjoyed watching these 2 teams slug it out. #5 for Sand Springs is an absolute stud. As he goes, so goes Sand Springs. If he has a big game then Sand Springs walks away with the W. If Tyaa Blue puts the clamps on him then they walk away the victor. Tyaa hangs their hat on defense. Nobody blows them away so, I expect this to be a close one. MY PREDICITON: TYAA BLUE WINS 13-12


BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE THIS WEEK! LOOKS LIKE WE ARE IN FOR SOME COOLER WEATHER!

I want to 2nd that post and give props to Shaffer(even tho he never picks my squad) and Cardsfan as well as the rest of you guys that put time in the message boards. I know it sure is entertaining and it adds to the fun of football season for coaches and parents that spend so much time on this game. You guys have great teams and it's pretty obvious you pour your hearts and souls into these young men, but then to take the extra time and entertain/inform on these boards is a step above. Slow clap from me. I've thrown a few pick ems up but even that takes a minute and I can't always find the time. So hats off

I hear that! I would say I try to be unbiased but, that wouldn't be totally true cuz I always pick my team to win lol. About like my Sooners! I pickup to win every game until we lose lol. I wanted to stay and watch you guys play Edmond the other day but, had to get my Kindergatrner to his game and my daughter to hers..

Division 1
Bixby White vs Verdigris (BIXBY WHITE wins by 2 td's)

FT Gibson vs BA Platinum (Expectations were high for this platinum team before the season started, but a few L's haven't kept them from getting better every week. They play the Tigers close, but FTG keeps their unblemished record in tact and get ready for their 2 game stretch with the champs and Hilldale.)

Owasso Black vs Sapulpa Blue (If only O-Black could have had that week 1 game with FTG late in the season. That game is what keeps them out of the playoffs imo. They have improved vastly since then. OWASSO BLACK)

Sequoyah vs Hilldale (HILLDALE rolls and awaits their showdown with Ft Gibson for what I believe will decide the #2/#3 seeds.)

Union Red vs Tyaa White (TYAA WHITE 35+)

Division 2
Bartlesville vs Jenks Maroon (I like Bville, but JENKS MAROON is too much in this one. They have the #2 seed on lock)

BA White vs Collinsville (A BA win punches their ticket into the playoffs. Win, lose, or draw-Birds fly together!!! COLLINSVILLE)

Muskogee vs Union Black (UNION BLACK makes it 5 in a row)

Bixby Red vs Sapulpa White (This one will be over in the first half. BIXBY RED cruises and gets another shutout in the process to go to 7-0 on the year)

Claremore vs Wagoner (If both teams are 100% healthy, this will be a great game. A few big plays is the difference in this one. I give the edge to CLAREMORE)

Division 3
Berryhill vs Coweta White (Should be a real good game. Going with the home team. BERRYHILL)

BA Black vs Catoosa Green (Catoosa is gonna give it their best shot, but BA BLACK gets the shutout and improves to 7-0.)

McAlester vs Bixby Blue (BIXBY BLUE keeps their playoff hopes alive)

Union Silver vs Pryor (Non division game. Both teams come into this one struggling a little. Pryor has some good kids but UNION SILVER picks up the win)

Glenpool Blue vs Skiatook (This game isn't getting the attention it deserves in my opinion. Glenpool is legit and are the favorites, however Skiatook has their backs against the wall. I always enjoy a little October madness, so I'm going with SKIATOOK by 1 to create a 4 way tie for the last 2 playoff spots

Division 4
BA Gold vs Lincoln Christian (Golds offense is going to need to play lights out in this one to have a shot. They have the playmakers to do so. BA strikes first blow, but LC does just enough to seal out a hard fought victory)

Edmond vs Norman Timberwolves (Big time west side matchup here. Both teams have made their mark in the INFC quick fast and in a hurry. EDMOND will win this game, but I think Norman keeps it closer than expected.)

Jenks White vs Norman Tigers (Norman has took their lumps but will still battle til the final horn. JENKS WHITE gets the much needed victory)

Choctaw vs Stillwater (Choctaw has a lot to play for these last 3 weeks. Stillwater is looking to play spoiler. In the end, CHOCTAW gets it done and a BIG game with Norman awaits!)

Owasso White vs Glenpool White (Good match up for both squads. Should be a great game. OWASSO WHITE squeaks one out on the road)

Division 5
Bartlesville White vs Owasso Red (OWASSO RED rolls in this one)

BA Silver vs Catoosa Black (BA SILVER by 3 td's)

Coweta Black vs Bishop Kelly (Very important game with both only having 1 division loss. I think BK needs this win more, however I'm going with COWETA BLACK)

Tyaa Blue vs Sand Springs (SS has 1 loss, but lets not forget this team has yet to be beat on the field. I think they get beat on the field this week. Bluedogs ain't losing 2 in a row. TYAA BLUE)
