Weather Possible Friday

Today's modern world high school athletic director must worry about ticket sales and with football being and outside sports any possible rain chases AD's to move games.  Saturday is kind of a voo doo day for high school sports since we in North Carolina have so many major college teams killing high school ticket sales for Saturday.  Monday night was a better option but Monday puts next week practice schedule behind before you ever finish your game on Monday.

Recent years teams have slowly move to Thursday football games and several in the area have already made moves since Friday 's weather forecast right now seems to be headed for a washout.  The SouthWest Edgecombe at Tarboro game has been move to 7pm Thursday as well  as Rocky Mount at Rose.  The Rose Rm jv games will be in Rocky Mount Monday night at 6pm.

Regardless of the sport the powerhouse team in the Big East in any sport this years seems to be the Northern Nash Cross Country team.  During last Wednesday 's  Big East conference run The Knights finished in the top six positions and this past weekend won and invitational meet on the coast which had over 600 runners.

The Lady  Gryphons volleyball team won their first conference match in a couple of years when they beat Nash Central in the Conference opener on Tuesday.

Last week in the first week of the NFL football I went 9-7.  It is hard to pick 10 of 16 games each week, I don't know how people bet on games with points spreads when it is hard enough to pick games straight up.  Will try to do better this week.

The Thursday night game sends The Steelers at the Ravens.  Couldn't ask for a worse possible week

for Baltimore.  Short week for the road team and I'm betting the Ravens pull together to win this one. 23-17

Miami at Buffalo.  The winner of this game is the top team in AFC east.  I'll take the Bills at home 19-17

Detroit at Carolina:  Detroit playing on grass at a team with a good defense.  Panthers 26 Lions 23

Atlanta at Cincinnati:   I think Cincy will win AFC North and they will win this one Bengals 27 Atlanta 20

New Orleans at Cleveland:  Saints had better win this one unless they think being behind the Panthers by 2 games is ok.  Saints 31 Cleveland 18

New England At Minnesota:  Talk about a team that needs a win but Pats lose and they will be in last place in AFC  East but Vikes will be no pushover. NE 27 Vikes 25

Arizona at Giants:  after this one the Giants will be looking to replace Eli.  Cards 38 Giants 16

Dallas at Tennessee:  the worse division in football is NFC East and Dallas is heading for 0-2 Titans 26 Boys 13

Jacksonville at Washington:  How bad is Washington, I think this is a toss up game against the Jags for Washington at home against maybe the worse team in the NFL Redskins 16 Jags 13

Seattle at San Diego:  All factors show Seattle in blowout but why am I picking Chargers. 26-23

Stl Louis at Tampa Bay:  Tampa wins 21-6

Kansas City at Denver:  why is this game the National TV game when Seattle and Chargers will be a better game? Denver 36 KC 16

Jets at Green Bay:  Green Bay big. 26-10

Houston at Oakland:  Oakland just might win this one 16-12

Chicago at San Francisco.  If Chicago can't beat Buffalo how can they beat niners  Niners 26 Bears 17

The Monday Night game has Philly at Indy. Light up the scoreboard. Indy 36 Philly 32.
