Called out by Cards!! lol Sounds fair enough, I'll post em up! But before I do, we've only had one donation to the Cards pumpkin spice fund thus far. Remember, send me a direct message and I'll shoot you my Venmo info. I'll be collecting donations through Sunday, and will then pick him up a card. Come on fella's, let's do this!! All that value he throws together for the weekly standings, is what makes this forum so engaging and great!!
Here are my picks!
Non-Division
Piedmont @ Edmond Bulldogs - This game and the Glenpool/Owhite game are the two I’ll be most curious to see the scores of. I think Edmond wins in the end, but this will give us an early indication as to how dominant they truly are. Easily the hardest game on Edmond’s schedule thus far. We’ll learn a lot about both teams here.
Edmond Wolves @ Norman Tigers - no idea, just a guess!
Norman Twolves @ Yukon White - Twolves roll huge in this one, and are keeping an eye on that Gpool/Owhite game to find out who got next! And they will most definitely be ready!
Stillwater Blue @ Westmoore - no idea, just a guess again!
Division 1
Choctaw Gold @ Yukon Red
Division 2
Stillwater Gold @ Choctaw Blue
Division 3
McAlester @ Jenks Maroon - McAlester has a solid team, and I’ve been worried about this game since the divisions came out. I hear they can sling it! Definitely a team no one should sleep on, they are solid. Just barely missing the playoffs in a pretty stacked division. Especially grateful this game is at home, glad to not have to travel like we did in Westside divisions last year. Sorry McAlester, that has to be brutal!
BA Chrome @ BA White - BA White is definitely a playoff caliber team, and would be a 2 or 3 seed in a few other divisions, IMO. Lots of talent on this team, and well coached. They will be in the finals of the PST, IMO!
Owasso White @ Glenpool - Man, this is SUCH a hard pick for me! We’ve played both teams, and I think both are super solid, and I don't want to play either again. Loser gets a weekday date at Norman, 1st round of playoffs. Ouch!! Neither team wants to lose this game. Wish I could watch it, this will definitely be an intense battle! Neither team backs down from a fight, and both will bring it all game long. I think Owasso has the better line (not by much), and Glenpool has the better RB. #2 is a stud, no matter how much you practice tackling, he will break no less than 25 tackles per game. Pretty much guaranteed! In the end, I’m picking O-white to win this one, but that’s a 50/50 pick. It could easily go either way. Plus, I think Glenpool will be favored, so need a few picks like this to re-take my top spot on the pickems!! @BA Platinum, you better not steal my pick, I need to pass you up here!!
Muskogee @ Union Black - Muskogee has the skill to beat UB, and if they can give full effort across the board, that could very well happen. But, I think UB comes out firing at home, and gets up early. They are a very talented team, and can score on just about anyone.
Division 4
Coweta Black @ Lincoln Christian - Word is out on that Coweta back, and LC will have a solid gameplan to stop him. I think he scores once, but LC scores A LOT! 35-6 LC!
Bixby Red @ Claremore - Bixby Red is showing they are in true playoff form, just like they have always been in October over the past years. They roll huge in this one!
Owasso Black @ Wagoner
BA Black @ Jenks White - If I’m not mistaken, this was the final regular season game for these two teams last year also. JW has gotten even better, and will be looking to show the league they deserved a playoff spot this year! BA Black will clearly be ready too, they always are. Gotta go with the Jenks homeys. “Bros before BA Black ..... holes”, amirite?!
Division 5
Sand Springs @ TYAA - TYAA showed last week they are the real deal. No one wants to play these guys in the Playoffs. They will make a deep run, and likely be in the championship game. Norman Twolves v TYAA will be such a solid playoff matchup.
Bixby Blue @ Jenks Black - As much as I like Jenks Black, I think Bixby Blue is just too much here. They are so solid and consistent, and they’ll control the line of scrimmage.
Catoosa @ BA Platinum - Catoosa has the talent to win, but they’ve been a bit too inconsistent this year. BA Platinum in a close one.
BA Silver @ Union Silver - This BA Silver team is good though, and they’ve definitely been beating some good teams. This game will be tight, but I think Union comes out in the end. Prove me wrong BA Silver, you’ve done it before to me this year!
AA Division 1
Bartlesville Blue @ Sequoyah
Verdigris @ Hilldale
Pryor @ Coweta White
AA Division 2
Berryhill @ South Tulsa
Bartlesville White @ Collinsville - Cards has these guys firing! Who’s surprised? I’m not surprised!! Probably my favorite to win the AA Playoffs this year! Will they be the LC of this year and next? Meaning, win it all in AA, and then dominate single A the next year as well? They appear to be on that path!
Sapulpa @ Holland Hall
