Ok, so We have to go through and pick for this group of Seniors. I think that is going to be almost impossible as a lot of these teams come in very closely ranked. Over the years we have seen a steady rise in the overall competition at this level of football, but this year it has jumped up at an incredible rate. So good luck to you all as the playoffs are getting near!!!!!
Ok, it's time for the Youth Sports USA Game Picks for this weeks Senior Games...... So let's just get right to it!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, it's time for the Youth Sports USA Game Picks for this weeks Senior Games...... So let's just get right to it!!!!!!!!!!
#17 Mansfield Cougars vs #2 TCU Wildcats;
I think that the Mansfield Cougars are in trouble this week. They are going to have to come out and play mistake free football as well as have some long sustained drives to keep the TCU Wildcats offense off the field. This one could get out of control pretty quick if the Cougars do not stick to the formula. With that said if they do, they could come out and shock everyone!!!!! They could slip right up and catch the #2 team flat and run off with a great win that could get those kids running into the playoffs.
Picking this one straight by the numbers and we have the TCU Wildcats rolling 32-6.....
Final Score:
TCU Wildcats = 40
Mansfield Cougars = 0
#18 Mansfield Longhorns vs DFW Ravens;
The DFW Ravens come into this game after a really big win last week. They are flying high and feeling pretty good about where they are right now, and at 5-0 who can blame them! They look like one of their leagues favorites as we head closer to the playoffs. The biggest problem for them is to make sure that they are mentally ready to play this game. If they come in flat and uninspired they will loose, and the Longhorns are looking for that signature win to really get their season rolling. I think the Longhorns are going to have to play keep away with the ball and put some long drives together and drain the clock on each play trying to get this one to the 4th quarter. If they do that, they could really go get this years biggest victory.....
Unfortunately for the Longhorns, we don't see them pulling this one off. The Ravens are just to complete a team and we got this one ending with a score of 26-6 Ravens.
Final Score:
DFW Ravens = 21
Longhorns = 0
#14 Eastside Katz vs. #7 NT Express;
The NT Express are a very good team and they have really been playing some good football this year. We are watching them and by the numbers they are as solid a team as there is out there. They just have to get focused and stay focused on the tasks at hand as the playoffs get close. On the other side, the Eastside Katz have struggled all year long. They simply must get their train on the tracks and they have to do it soon. This is a good team and much better than their record tells us they are. If I had to say what their biggest problem this year is, I would say that they get down a little and then they shut down. That is a sign to me of a team that is thinking to much and not just cutting it loose and playing football. Get back to that and they could see a dramatic change in their season.
Depending on if the Katz get back to having some fun while playing some football they could get an upset this week. However, as in almost every pick we simply can not ignore the numbers on this one.... Express win it 20-8.....
Final Score:
NT Express = 28
Eastside Katz = 6
#11 Texas vs. #10 DC Raiders;
In this game we see 2 teams that are very similar and the numbers bear this out to us as well. Both are trying to get back to 500 and they both need to get on a roll before trying to make a real run in the playoffs. Unfortunately in many ways the game of football is a very harsh sport as one of these 2 teams will fall further behind 500 and one will reach 500 and be positioned to get on a roll.
We have really had to look at the numbers for this game very close. Picking this one was a challenge and after looking at all the different aspects of this one, we have decided to go with the team with the stronger defense. DC Raiders in a close one 20-12.
Final Score:
DC Raiders = 37
Texans = 12
#9 Riverside Eagles vs #4 Blue Ruff Riderz;
If you go strictly by the win loss record then this game is over, but if you take a closer look at these 2 teams you will they are really pretty close to each other. This one is the reason for the old saying "That's why we play the games". It seems that the more we looked at this game the closer this one got in our minds. This one is so close we are giving it our "Spoiler Alert" tag!!!!!!!!! This one could swing in either direction on just one or two plays. This one is going to be close for sure......
After breaking this one down we have come up with the Blue Ruff Riderz in a close one 18-12. This one could swing on a special teams play! It could go either way...... UPSET ALERT!!!!!!!!
Final Score:
Blue Ruff Riderz = 14
Riverside Eagles = 8
#5 Mansfield Panthers vs. #8 TCU Bulldogs
This game was the "Runner Up" in Youth Sports USA's Game of the Week. We really looked at this one very hard and almost made it this weeks Game of the Week. However, with the #1 vs #3 in the Junior Division we went with that game. By saying all of that we say this one is going to be a great game, and if you want to see a physical tough game, this is the one for you! We are excited to see how this one turns out! We will be keeping a close eye on this one for sure!!!!!!!
With this one being the "Runner Up" we spent a lot of time looking at it and breaking it down. We have really done some home work on this one and we still can't get a complete solid pick in this one. So going with the majority we are going to go with the Mansfield Panthers in a close 16-14 win.......
Final Score:
Mansfield Panthers = 22
TCU Bulldogs = 18
