I tried to wait on Coach12 to copy his picks
, but looks like I might be out of the office tomorrow, so I'm gonna have to go at it on my own.
DIV 1
OWASSO WHITE vs --bye--
BROKEN ARROW CHROME vs
BROKEN ARROW SILVER Mismatch on the line and talent in the backfield will be too much for Chrome. Silver will win this one big.
BIXBY BLUE vs BIXBY WHITE
Blue will be on a warpath to redeem last weeks loss. Might be missing their QB, but I think this is even worse for White. Injury forces Blue to stick with their best horse. White will get a full dose of Dax and Penny. Blue wins Big
MUSKOGEE vs
JENKS MAROON Maroon does what maroon does. Score at will and another blowout this week.
SAND SPRINGS GOLD vs
UNION BLACKThis game will be close, but I think the Union puts their size and speed to work an gets the W.
Div 2
BROKEN ARROW BLACK vs
UNION SILVER I'm with ALLIN on this one. Black has me confused. I cant figure out if they are good, or I just think they should be good because the name "BA Black" has always been strong in this grade. I drank the "BA Black" juice week one and picked them in a game that, looking back now was a total mismatch. I think Union shows this week that their close game against Jenks White was for real. Union Silver by 2 TD's
SAPULPA vs
BROKEN ARROW PLATINUM Platinum showed last week just how much 1 player can mean to a team at this level. They roll big again this week and get ready for a game next week against Union, which I believe will decide the 4th playoff spot in this division.
JENKS WHITE vs
BIXBY RED As TST said, I think this is the only tough pick this week, so I took some extra time to consider this one. I also know Coach12 is going with his Jenks boys, so figure this is a prime opportunity to get a game on "Tony the Lizard" of the INFC.
I see the scores each week on these teams and its had me going back and forth. Week one I thought Jenks looks legit and Red looks like they have seen their best years, but now I question how good BA Black really is and I think Jenks Black is the real deal. Week 2 tells me nothing and week 3 makes me feel like Red has found their groove, putting up big points and pitching a shutout on D to a solid SS Black team, While White has to keep Union out of the end zone the last play to seal the win. Then Mav throws out the 30-0 last week and I think, missing kids or not, how can that happen, Jenks has to be better right? I cant go down another game to the "Lizard", so I went the extra step and did some even deeper investigating. I looked past my better judgment, ignored my internal compass, and asked another grown adult if he had any inside information on a youth football game. After I gathered my composure and recovered from the loss of self respect, I was actually quite surprised in the info I received. I wont divulge without all picks locked in, but I will give a hint. To me this game is all about numbers. 22 for Jenks White and the numbers 5 and 9 for Red and no.....these are not player numbers for Red. We will see if my efforts bare any fruit, or I just lost my way in an effort to incorrectly pick the winner between 12 and 13 year old kids.
I am taking Red in this one and by more then 1 TD
OWASSO SILVER vs
JENKS BLACK This game is another blow out for Jenks Black. Silver has no answer for #12, along with 70% if this league.
SAND SPRINGS BLACK vs BARTLESVILLE
SS Black has had a tough draw. I think they roll big and take out their frustration on Bartlesville this week. SS #8, #0, and #5 are studs and will be all over the field this week. Black wins this one in a shutout.
