Week 8 picks
Central at Castle
Castle should beat the Bears pretty easily, give me the Knights in a running clock
Reitz at Bosse
Reitz is pretty motivated right now on potentially winning the SIAC outright tonight. Reitz in a running clock
Harrison at Mater Dei
Looks like the Wildcats are in the grove now winning 3 straight. Harrison’s new QB looks solid too. Give the me the Wildcats by a 3-4 scores.
Memorial at Vincennes
Both teams are coming off fairly close loses, especially Memorial coming off a hard loss against Reitz. Vincennes is also coming off another hard 3 point loss to North. This game is going to be fun seeing which team will overcome tonight. Memorial has to be furious on the way they played like last week. Vincennes should be too, losing to another close game on home grass. QB Xander Hunt will be a problem tonight, but I think the Tigers respond back in a close one. Memorial by a score.
Game of the Week
Something is brewing on North US-41, as an Husky win tonight and next week against Central will certify a winning season for the first time in 15 years. The only problem is that a fiery Jasper team is in the way, coming off a big OT win over Castle and a strong running performance by Jasper’s Perkins. But this is an intriguing matchup overall, as North’s St. Louis has been one of the best backs in the conference and coming off a 189 yard performance against a good Vincennes rushing defense. But that is not all! As both teams are the top 2 rushing defenses in the entire conferences, with North (73.3 YPG) at #1 and Jasper (87.6 YPG) at #2. It’s going to be a battle in the trenches tonight, that’s for sure. But what about the air? North gives up 174.7 YPG and Jasper gives up 164.0 YPG. If running the ball doesn’t work tonight, this will be a struggle, but North does have an advantage in the better passing game. Give me the Huskies in a very tight game by 3.
