Week 8 RSN Pick ‘em

[the dog]

According to Sagarin, not many marquee matchups tonight. Only two games predicted to be one score games:

Hanover Central by 11 over Andrean
Boone Grove by 32 over Lake Station
Griffith by 33 over Calumet
Crown Point by 22 over Chesterton
Hammond Central by 36 over EC Central
West Side by 12 over Hammond Noll
KV by 25 over Highland
Hobart by 6 over Hammond Morton
Merrillville by 16 over Lake Central
Michigan City by 19 over LaPorte
Lowell by 14 over Munster
North White by 11 over North Newton
Portage by 1 over Valparaiso
Tri-County by 37 over Bowman
Wheeler by 34 over Whiting

Three most interesting games IMO would be Andrean v Hanover Central, Hobart v Morton, and Portage v Valparaiso. Andrean is capable of beating Hanover Central but that's a tough task -- will need to get something on the ground going. Andrean's defense is good but Varrett is a tough stop.

Morton is capable but in their games against Portage, Chesterton, and Tippecanoe Valley they really struggled on defense. In last year's game against Hobart, Morton came out on fire and had a two touchdown lead earlier.....and ended up losing by 28. Portage/Valpo.....would not have guessed preseason that this would basically be a pick 'em game.

Basketball Jones and VPISU remembered !!!! Don't quit on the Bombers.

All in good fun my friends or foes

River Forest presented a lot of challenges watching on film, being fully healthy for 1st time on both side of ball and improving with the large Sophomore class playing has led to trending upward

GOT A LARGE challenge Friday vs Logansport.....Very Very Good 4a team this year, beat West Lafayette by a couple TDs, lost to LCC by 2, and have rolled everyone else. May need the BYE after this week.

Cheers
