Lot OnThe Line Saturday

The Pirates of ECU have the Tar Heels coming to town on Saurday and this just might be one of the best games ever between the two schools.  ECU seems on a roll from last year till now and the Tar Heels seem capable of rolling up points.  The problem for North Carolina is they may not be able to stop the Pirates enough to win.  ECU 42 North Carolina 35

The WolfPack take on the church of Presbyterians the week before they meet Florida St.  Pack may post 50 over the Blue Hose who are no bigger in size as NCW. Pack 56 Blue Hose  0.

The Clemson Tiger go to Florida State absent their quarterback for a half.  This is an interesting game as FSU has  not played like number one team.  I'm taking the Noles in a close one.  28-26

The battle of the Techs Georgia Tech visits Virginia Tech  and the gobblers gobble the Rambling Wreck.  26-20.

The College football game right here in Rocky Mount has Benedict College from Tennessee taking on Elizabeth City State.  ECSt 36 BC 23

Here is an interesting game as Maryland travels to Syracuse.  I hate to do it but the Terps win on the road. 31-22.

Maine at BC:  if they can handle the men of Troy no problem with Maine. BC 44 -14.

The Black Knights of Army visit Wake.  This is two teams of equal value.  USMA 23 Wake 17

Tulane at Duke:  Hard to pick against the way they are playing right now.  Duke. 48 Tulane 23.

Last week went 9-4 to run my college picks to 30-6.  Have started the week 1-0 after the Battling a Bishops lost last night at the Sports Complex 31-28

Non-Conference Almost Over

We head into the next to the last week for most of their non-conference schedule and many games this week leave us much to ponder.  went 7-2 last week to run my season record to 28-8

Rocky Mount @SouthWest Edgecombe:  Rose passed at will and the Gryphons had no answer.  This week a 180 degree  turn-a-round as the Gryphons meet up with the run happy Cougars.  If there is one good point for the Gryphons they scored more points on Rose than anyone else has done.  Gryphons 34 SWE 22

Northern Nash @ Southern Vance:  This should be another chance for the Knights to show everyone that their offense is capable against anyone.  Northern 35 Southern Vance 16

Tarboro @ Roanoke Rapids: The Vikings non conference schedule is as good as anyone around as they have taken on larger schools and have proven to be as good as anybody in the area.  Tarboro wins again  26-19

Currituck @ Hunt:  Hunt headed east last week and  came back with their heads on a platter.  This week Currituck heads west but last week they put 60 on the board.  Doubt they get any where close to that this week.  Hunt 38 Currituck 23

RMA@ Community Christian:  I think this will be a game if the Eagles want 80 they can get it.  Don't think the need for the first string to play after the half.  RMA 62 Community Christian 12

Rocky Mount Prep@ Kipp Pride:  They already have one win under their belt this year over Pride and I think the second one comes Friday  RMP 33 KP  16

Nash Central @ Beddingfield:  Beddingfield was manhandled by Fike but this is at the other end of the Big East food chain  Beddingfield 35 Nash Central 20.

Fike @ Smithfield Selma:  Over what they use to be SSS has improved but not enough to take out one of the Big Dogs of Big East.  Fike 42 SSS24

North Edgecombe @ Weldon:  If North Edgecombe is as good as they have shown thus far this season this one has to be a no doubter.  Warriors 26 Weldon 13

We will end our high school picks by moving over to the first game of the week to be played at the sports complex  tonight when NCW host Christopher Newport.  Newport is not as good as they have been lately but good enough.  CNU  34 NCW24
