This weeks Picks are going to be very challenging. We have been doing these kind of Game Picks and Predictions for a very long time and feel that we have actually gotten pretty good at it. However, this weeks picks has been some of the toughest we have seen in a very long time. To be totally honest I am very glad to see the overall level of competition rise as much as it has. The days of one team dominating over another has ended, and now it appears that any team on any day has a real chance to pull off a win. Which in turn should make winning each game a more cherishable event.
Ok, well enough stalling....... It's time to get those picks out. Good Luck to everyone on Saturday and remember to be safe and have fun!!!!!!!!!!

#10 Mansfield Lions vs #14 Arlington Blue Devils (White);
Our first pick for this week is one of those games where one team comes in with one more win than the other. As for the numbers, they come out close as well, and that tells me that this game will probably come down to who makes the fewest mental mistakes.
It has been a tough season for both of these teams, and it is time for one of them to right their ship this week and unfortunately the other team will have to wait until next week. As we get closer to the playoffs, time is running out on both of these teams to get started winning consistently and get into their grove.
In this one I have the Mansfield Lions pulling it off 20-8. Even though the score shows some separation I think that separation wont come until at least the 2nd half.
Final Score:
Mansfield Lions = 6
Arlington Blue Devils (White) = 0
#17 Mansfield Timberwolves vs. #11Westside Cowboys;
Again, in this game we have 2 teams that have had their share of struggles this season. But those struggles could prove to be exactly what they need to get going as the playoffs grow nearer. I think this game will be a defensive struggle so the team that can get out early might just stay there. Both offenses have had some difficulty but these defenses have stood tall overall.....
I think in this one the Westside Cowboys pull out early and hang on in the end to an 18-7 win....
Final Score:
Westside Cowboys = 26
Mansfield Timberwolves = 0
#2 DC Raiders vs. #8 Texans;
Ok, this game features last weeks Youth Sports USA Game of the Week winner the DC Raiders. They have proven that they have the mental toughness to go 4 quarters with anyone. They were tested mentally the whole game last week, but this week they might be a little flat after such a hard fought win and that could spell disaster for them with the Texans coming in this week. The Texans are battle tested as well and will be coming for the Raiders this week and with the Texans playing at home this could be a huge upset!!!! I can tell you this, both of these teams better come with their "A" Game if they want to win!
I think in the end the DC Raiders just have to much offense and if they get out to an early lead as tough as their defense is I think the Texans will not be able to catch up. I see this one being a 24-8 win for the DC Raiders.
Final Score:
DC Raiders - 34
Texans - 6
#16 Eastside Katz vs. #5 NT Express;
This is one of those games that if you look at the teams ranking and you work out the numbers you would see that the NT Express will win this game. With that being said, that's exactly the wrong attitude for these guys to come in with. If they come with that attitude, they will loose! The Katz are looking for some respect out of this season and they are coming for anyone and everyone. So Express you better have your minds right for this one.
I personally think that the Express will come out with the understanding that this is not a walk over game and play to the level of their ability and the coaches will have these guys ready to go and will keep their minds right through out the game. But remember those Katz have a huge chip on their shoulder so you better stay straight! Express 30-6
Final Score:
NT Express = 35
Eastside Katz = 0
#4 DFW Ravens vs. #9 Mansfield Longhorns;
WOW! The level of competition is simply incredible! This is another one of those games that proves my point. We have the team that lost last week in Youth Sports USA's Game of the Week and I know they are looking to getting that loosing taste out of their mouth, but what a tough draw again this week. It will not be easy as the Mansfield Longhorns look to get off the 500 bubble with another win, and a chance to do it against one of the better teams out there is just the right way to do it. This one has 2 of the top ranked defenses in it and should be a good tough game.
With this game, I think that the DFW Ravens get the win but they won't close this one out until the very last minutes of the game. They will win it just like they lost it last week..... In the last possession of the game. We see this one at 20-10.
Final Score:
Ravens = 30
Longhorns = 0
THIS WEEKS YOUTH SPORTS USA GAME OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!
#3 Blue Raider Panthers vs. #1 TCU Wildcats;
This game hosts a #3 Blue Raider Panthers team that comes in with a 5-0 record vs. the #1 TCU Panthers that come in with a 6-0 record. It is really so close that if the Blue Raider Panthers had a 6-0 record they could very well be the #1 team. I mean this game is going to be good!!!!! You have the #1 rated defense going against the #4 offense and you have the #2 Defense going against the #5 offense. You simply could not ask for a closer game. As a matter of fact I have done the numbers on this one so many times I stopped counting and I have worked it at every angle possible to try to get some kind of separation between these two teams, but the best I could come up with is one team at 11.3 and the other at 11.1. Now you tell me how it gets any closer than that.......
So with all of that said let me flip this quarter I have in my pocket and pick a winner..... And it is heads for the TCU Wildcats. So now I have to pick the score..... 12-10
Final Score:
Blue Raider Panthers - 14
TCU Wildcats - 0
