WEATHER FORECAST: Mostly Clear 33-36 degrees.
We'll get Tim's picks when we can.
Belding at Frankenmuth: The Muth really hasn't been tested except for their game against Freeland where they won 21-20 in week eight. Belding has really turned things around since losing 20-6 to Ionia in week one. The Black Knights had to survive Saginaw Swan Valley 52-30 last week. Belding has been dominant but so has Frankenmuth. This should be a really interesting game in Saginaw County.
SANDY DUNES: FRANKENMUTH 42, BELDING 21.
TIM:
COTTER: FRANKENMUTH 49, BELDING 21.
KEITH: FRANENMUTH 30, BELDING 13.
SCOTT: FRANKENMUTH 33, BELDING 23.
Gladwin at Ogemaw Heights: This is shaping up to be a really interesting matchup between the Flying G's and the Falcons. Gladwin is coming off a 18-15 win over Kingsford on the road last week. Ogemaw Heights won 20-13 over Clare last week. This should be a really interesting matchup of two teams that are familiar with one another. The Falcons beat the Flying G's 12-7 in week three. This should be a fun matchup.
SANDY DUNES: GLADWIN 31, OGEMAW HEIGHTS 21.
TIM:
COTTER: GLADWIN 19, OGEMAW HEIGHTS 14.
KEITH: OGEMAW HEIGHTS 21, GLADWIN 10.
Dearborn Divine Child at HARPER WOODS: This should be a really interesting matchup between the Pioneers and the Falcons. Harper Woods had an impressive 46-6 win at Redford Union last week. The Pioneers will have a home game with an experienced Falcons team. Dearborn Divine Child had an impressive 42-6 win at Madison Heights over Madison Heights Lamphere last week. Dearborn Divine Child wants to make history but they will have to go through the defending Division Four State Champs.
SANDY DUNES: HARPER WOODS 45, DEARBORN DIVINE CHILD 31.
TIM:
COTTER: HARPER WOODS 38, DEARBORN DIVINE CHILD 14.
KEITH: HARPER WOODS 35, DEARBORN DIVINE CHILD 14.
Croswell-Lexington at Macomb Lutheran North: This should be very interesting matchup between the Mustangs and the Pioneers. This is the fifth road game in six weeks for Croswell-Lexington but they are 4-1 in their last five away from Sanilac County with their only loss being 10-7 to Ogemaw Heights. They went into St. Clair County and shocked Marysville 31-6 last week. Macomb Lutheran North won 48-30 over St. Clair behind an impressive rushing attack and seven touchdowns from Vincent Campisi which is a school record. This should be a fun matchup in Macomb County.
SANDY DUNES: MACOMB LUTHERAN NORTH 28, CROSWELL-LEXINGTON 24.
TIM:
COTTER: CROSWELL-LEXINGTON 35, MACOMB LUTHERAN NORTH 12.
KEITH: MACOMB LUTHERAN NORTH 24, CROSWELL-LEXINGTON 21.
Linden at Mason: This is a very surprising matchup when looking at it. The Bulldogs were expected to be here after an impressive 59-18 win over Jackson last week. The Eagles were not expected to be here. Linden shocked Fenton 42-14 in Fenton last week after losing to the Tigers 24-21 a few weeks back. This looks like a mismatch on paper. Mason plays on grass which gives them an advantage. It should be very interesting to see what happens.
SANDY DUNES: MASON 38, LINDEN 14.
TIM:
COTTER: MASON 42, LINDEN 14.
KEITH: MASON 31, LINDEN 17.
AVONDALE at Walled Lake Western: This is a rematch of a 50-22 Warriors win over the Yellow Jackets last season. Walled Lake Western is well coached under former Farmington coach Kory Cicroch but they haven't been tested since winning 20-17 over Mason in week eight. Avondale has been up and down but is coming off an impressive 43-6 win over Redford Thurston last week. This should be a really interesting matchup in Walled Lake.
SANDY DUNES: WALLED LAKE WESTERN 35, AVONDALE 14.
TIM:
COTTER: WALLED LAKE WESTERN 52, AVONDALE 14.
KEITH: WALLED LAKE WESTERN 27, AVONDALE 20.
Livonia Franklin at Carlson: This is shaping up to be a really interesting matchup in Gibratar. The Marauders sit at 9-1 with their only loss to Trenton 28-14. This will be a really tough matchup with Livonia Franklin. The Patriots play in the Kensington Lakes East and is coming off an impressive 21-14 win in Allen Park over the Jaguars. This should be a really interesting matchup of two teams with different styles.
SANDY DUNES: CARLSON 31, LIVONIA FRANKLIN 28.
TIM:
COTTER: CARLSON 28, LIVONIA FRANKLIN 21.
KEITH: CARLSON 23, LIVONIA FRANKLIN 21.
Orchard Lake St. Marys at FARMINGTON: The Falcons are now healthy and they showed what they were made of with a strong second half in a 39-13 win over Lakeland in White Lake last week. They get to play at Falcon Field but it's a tough matchup with Orchard Lake St. Marys. The Eaglets are coming off a 42-7 win at Ron Holland Field over North Farmington last week. Farmington believes they can beat Orchard Lake St. Marys, lets see if they can prove it.
SANDY DUNES: ORCHARD LAKE ST. MARYS 35, FARMINGTON 31.
TIM:
COTTER: ORCHARD LAKE ST. MARYS 49, FARMINGTON 7.
KEITH: ORCHARD LAKE ST. MARYS 31, FARMINGTON 10.
SEAHOLM at GROVES: These are two teams that are no strangers to one another. The Falcons won 35-0 over Seaholm in week nine. Groves will look to make it two in a row over the Maples. The Falcons won 49-14 over Ferndale last week. The Maples won 59-29 over Warren Mott last week. This is one of the best rivalries in football and another chapter is set to be written.
SANDY DUNES: GROVES 49, SEAHOLM 7.
TIM:
COTTER: GROVES 42, SEAHOLM 7.
KEITH: GROVES 28, SEAHOLM 25.
Warren De LaSalle at Grosse Pointe South: This is a really interesting matchup of two teams that know each other quite well. The Pilots have been very impressive in the always tough Catholic League. Warren De LaSalle won 49-0 over Port Huron Northern at Memorial Stadium last week. The Blue Devils who have the highest point total in Division Two had to survive 27-26 over Roseville last week. This should be a really interesting matchup in Grosse Pointe.
SANDY DUNES: WARREN DELASALLE 35, GROSSE POINTE SOUTH 28.
TIM:
COTTER: WARREN DELASALLE 38, GROSSE POINTE SOUTH 14.
KEITH: WARREN DELASALLE 20, GROSSE POINTE SOUTH 16.
OXFORD at Grand Blanc: This is a really interesting matchup in Genesee County. The Wildcats went into Davison and stunned the Cardinals 21-14 last week. The Bobcats beat Lapeer 42-21 last week. Oxford and Grand Blanc are no strangers to one another in other sports (basketball.) Grand Blanc has a really good quarterback, wide receiver combo but Oxford brings a different animal, I don't think the Bobcats have seen before.
SANDY DUNES: OXFORD 35, GRAND BLANC 21.
TIM:
COTTER: OXFORD 28, GRAND BLANC 21.
KEITH: GRAND BLANC 20, OXFORD 17.
CLARKSTON at ADAMS: This is a rematch of a 28-10 Highlanders win over the Wolves a few weeks ago. Both teams are different now. Clarkston is coming off an impressive 34-16 win over Lake Orion last week. Adams won 44-14 over Stoney Creek last week. This is a clash of different styles and whoever style wins this matchup.
SANDY DUNES: ADAMS 28, CLARKSTON 21.
TIM:
COTTER: ADAMS 24, CLARKSTON 21.
KEITH: CLARKSTON 24, ADAMS 21.
WEST BLOOMFIELD at Novi Detroit Catholic Central: This should be a really interesting matchup of two proven programs with a ton of history and success and there are storylines. Beau Jackson returns to Novi as the Lakers starting quarterback. The Shamrocks have not missed a beat and have been really impressive. West Bloomfield has been up and down but more ups lately. This should be a really interesting matchup in Novi.
SANDY DUNES: WEST BLOOMFIELD 42, NOVI DETROIT CATHOLIC CENTRAL 35.
TIM:
COTTER: NOVI DETROIT CATHOLIC CENTRAL 35, WEST BLOOMFIELD 14.
KEITH: NOVI DETROIT CATHOLIC CENTRAL 31, WEST BLOOMFIELD 28.
Saline at Belleville: These are two teams that are no strangers to one another. Saline and Belleville are really close to one another and they have two really good teams. It stinks that one of those teams is going to be out of the postseason. The quarterback matchup between Tommy Carr and Bryce Underwood is very interesting. This could be a shootout, I'm not sold on both defenses in this game.
SANDY DUNES: BELLEVILLE 42, SALINE 35.
TIM:
COTTER: BELLEVILLE 35, SALINE 21.
KEITH: BELLEVILLE 34, SALINE 17.
SCOTT: BELLEVILLE 33, SALINE 23.
