football picks

I can’t seem to shake these four-loss weeks, as this is the part of the year where it becomes harder to decipher which teams that are out of the playoff running are still going hard and which ones have mailed in their seasons. This week has a great slate of games, many with big state playoff seeding implications...

I am in a gradual decline to finish the season and had another subpar week last week, so we’ll see if I can pull out of a tailspin in the exercise of futility known as my picks. We could see the first division titles (or at least ties for them) get clinched this week, and there are some crucial games as far as playoff seedings go...

Two big match-ups featuring four teams ranked in the Shore Sports Network Top 10 highlight another big weekend of Shore Conference football coming up. Class A South took my picks behind the woodshed last week, as all three first-place teams lost...

Last week was one of my most mediocre prognostication weeks of the season, so it’s time to start rounding into playoff form as we head into the second half of the season. As far as division title races go, the Central at Barnegat game is a big one in Class B South this week, while Lacey, Jackson Memorial and Brick look to remain unbeaten in Class A South in a free-for-all for that championship...

It’s going to be a soggy Week Five, so we’ll see if the rain and field conditions have any type of significant effect on the outcomes, although the forecast for Saturday is much better now. Twelve teams have byes this week, so it’s a fairly light schedule highlighted by No...

Kind of a mediocre showing for me last week as I lost some toss-up games in A South and B North. This week could either be tremendous or a train wreck given the number of toss-up games and high-profile showdowns on the schedule. At least I am holding my own in the Shore Sports Network picks every week with Kevin Williams, Ed Sarluca and Matt Harmon, as I am one game behind Kevin off the lead... Re

Plenty of important divisional match-ups this week and several key games involving teams off to 2-0 starts highlight this week. This should start to give us a clearer picture of the front-runners in several divisions and start stamping the teams that look like they could be high seeds down the road in the state playoffs...

Another solid, if unspectacular, week of picking games. I have gone from the basement with the roaches and rats to at least a tidy first-floor room. Still seeking that deee-luxe aparment in the sky with an undefeated week.
