Week Three Predictions

I thought last week's eight games were tough as I went 5-3 which gives me a 12-4 start to the season. After some of the game results last week many questions exist as we pick the games of week three.

Tarboro at Northern Nash:  Missed both of the picks involving these two last week.  Between them they gave up 90 points. And scored between them only 27.  Sure seems both defenses need to stop somebody this week.  I have no idea how to gauge both of these teams right now so here is a coin flip. Heads Northern 20 Tarboro 14.

SouthWest Edgecombe at Greene Central. Cougars should handle this one, 26-12.

Hertford County at Rocky Mount.  Rocky Mount has shown to be a big play team so far and big plays  relate to speed.  By the way so far the defense has allowed just seven points.  Gryphons 36 Hertford County 14.

Rose at Nash Central :  Said last week wouldn't  pick the Bulldogs until they showed some form of improvement.  Even if they were playing well wouldn't pick them this week.  Rose 49 Nash Central 7.

Beddingfield at Pinecrest: Here is another game that' a pickem game.  I bet this one is close but I'll go with the home team Pinecrest 21-16.

Hunt Visits New Hanover:  This  will probably be another good game but Hunt makes long ride home on the short end of the score.  New Hanover 26 Hunt 20.

Fike at Kinston:  Fike will get a test but they will prevail 35-20.

Southern Nash at Bunn:  Here we go with another game  that is hard to gauge where these teams are right now.  Another close one but the Firebirds will sneak out with this one.  26-20.

North Edgecombe who gave SWE all they wanted last week will travel to Princton to take on one of the best backs in the country.  Here we go again.  Can't quite pull the trigger for the Warriors.   Princton 26-14.

Louisburg at Rocky Mount Prep:  The next step in the progression of football at Rocky Mount Prep is they now need to beat someone that is a better team than them.  Won 't be this week Louisburg 26 Prep 18.

Rocky Mount Academy host Hobgood :  One bad thing about playing on Thursday night is every coach that you play will scout you if they still play on Friday.  I would suspect 29-0 was a vanilla  score after getting early lead RMA had no reason to show everyone their arsenal. RMA  44 Hobgood 28.
