Thanks to the boys at Fenwick, I have a regular season winning average of.333. If you bet the money line on all of these games, you'd be quite wealthy. This is the hardest week of the year for picking upsets, with all the good teams getting cake walks for the most point. However, the show must go on. This week's upset is....... The Golden Warriors of Sterling over the Chicago Catholic League's very own Shamrocks of St. Patrick's. Any time a CCL team loses in the first round it an upset. I see the Catholic League running the table this weekend accept for the Shamrocks. Final score in this one..... Sterling 35 - St. Pats 24. That's this week's upset. What are your thoughts and who is your upset?

This game will be a muddy slopfest after all the rain this week and will be throughly enjoyable to watch.
Only an IHSA seed upset. GW beat no one and was manhandled last time they hosted Oswego.
Same with NV/Bartlett tonight. Neuqua’s field is terrible in good weather. And that’s just the way they like it.
Sorry in my eyes it would be an upset...
Hopefully it's a higher quality broadcast for those watching at home. Last time they had that motion camera behind a wet window.
As much as I hate to make this pick..Sandburg over Hinsdale Central.
Alot of Upsets - 8A Alone
Bartlett over Nequa
New Trier over Maine South
Sandburg over Hinsdale Central
(Naperville) Central over North
Bartlett over Nequa
New Trier over Maine South
Sandburg over Hinsdale Central
(Naperville) Central over North
Bartlett is very not good this year in a bad conference. I would be absolutely floored if they beat Neuqua. Better chance they get clocked by half.
Those two and my own Willowbrook over Whitney Young.
If Oswego hadn't lost by three scores to a 5-4 Yorkville last weekend I might agree with this.
For the sake of putting an aggressive upset pick out there: New Trier over Maine South. Hard to beat a team twice...let alone back to back
I’m going to this one tonight, Simeon doesn’t have real run Game so passing the ball might be tough if it keeps raining
Carmel Catholic over De La Salle.
Sorry, that's next week. My bad.
Sorry, that's next week. My bad.
Is there something about a loss to a 6-3 Morgan Park and some rather unimpressive wins that should make me agree with this?
Very late to this. Would Glenbard North over Bolingbrook be an upset?
Then it will be. Seems like Oswego played better teams during the season than GW and GW lost to the only good teams they played. Also Oswego hammered GW a few years ago in the playoffs. We have the same exact picks for all the 8A games.
I would think so. It was one of the games I was considering before going with Oswego.
Yeah they are very good. That’s why I am not sure it is an upset. Either way should be a great game.
GBN is the favorite. 5 points from being undefeated and faced two top 10 teams.
As a fellow sandbagger I get what your doing.
Fine I will take Evanston over PN
Failed 2 point conversions against Batavia and WN? both 1 point losses? I’d say they’re closer to being a favorite to advance than not make it?
