Lady Gryphons Advance.

Rocky Mount High's girls tennis team advanced to the second round of the State duel playoffs winning every match 6-0 over Southern Guilford.  Afternoon showers could have force a delay but the match was moved to Belmont Lakes.

Both Rocky Mount and Northern Nash lost in the semi finals of the Big East Volleyball Tournament. Hunt plays at Fike for the tournament crown.

Last week went 9-5-1 on NFL Picks so I guess we will drop the tie as if that game never happened so I stand right now  through six weeks of NFL season done at 61-28.

Thursday night has those J-E-T-S traveling to New England and on paper this looks like a mis-match and I think it will be.  Pats 31- Turbo Props. 16

Atlanta At Baltimore> What in the world has happen to Atlanta?  No defense at all and not enough offense to outscore the other side.  Ravens 31- Birds 13

Titans at Redskins> If you were going to try to predict a game that ends in a tie this one would be it.  These two can't beat their way out of a wet bag.  Just maybe the Redskins would get out of a wet bag first.  Skins 24- Titans  17

Seattle At Rams>  Rams looked great for about a quarter against the 49's.  Seahawks still trying to play defense the old fashion way try to knock your teeth out but I think you can see the couple of people who got big contracts and went else where has hurt the Hawks some.  This will be a close one but Seahawks will survive 27-24.

Browns at Jacksonville>  Browns are playing great, Jags are not..    About time for the Browns to lost one they shouldn't  Jags 23 Browns 21

Bengals at Colts>  Having thrown a tie into the loop Cincinnati needs this one. Letting the Panthers score 37 last week , how many can the Colts get?   Colts 45 Bengal Tigers 31

Vikings at Bills>  One of those who cares who wins games as neither will be going anywhere past December.  I like the Bills 26-23

Miami at Chicago>  Will this be the good Cutler or bad Cutler? I think even if it is the bad, Bears win anyway.  27-20

New Orleans at Detroit> Preseason thought Saints win this one.  Now who are the Saints?  Detroit 34-Saints 27

Carolina at Green Bay>  I think Carolina is better than what everybody thinks but going to the not yet frozen tundra will not be easy.  Same question for the Panthers if Cincy gets 37 how many with double check man get.    GB 35 Carolina 23

Kansas City At San Diego>  KC is really good  and have played one of the toughest  schedules in  NFL.    San Diego has their 4th center  and 4th string back in with Rivers.  This is the time if the Chargers can get healthy they could be a beast but they must survive and get in playoffs.  This is one of those games both need.  Chargers 31-KC 30

Cardinals At Raiders>  Second game for new coach at Oakland and they played inspired against Chargers.  Bout time the Raiders jumped somebody.  Oakland 27 Phoenix 24

Giants at Dallas> Ok how many times have you see a NFC East team start out 6-2 and another 2-6 and the 2/6 wins the division.  Could happen again this year but it won't be the Giants .  Dallas 27- Giants 17

49's at Denver>  Oh boy this is one of those games.  Both these teams need this one and especially Denver.  Chargers coming next Thursday.  Denver 32 San Fan 27

Houston at Pitt> I think this game will show you how old the Steelers are.  Houston 27 Steelers 17
