Week 9 Football Predictions

Last Week's Record: 11-7     Season Record: 106-37


Lake Orion at Clarkston
After a tough loss last week, the Wolves are in a must win situation in order to guarantee them of a playoff berth. I’m expecting Clarkston to come out on top in this one.
Clarktston 24 Lake Orion 20


Novi Detroit Catholic Central vs. Orchard Lake Saint Mary’s
No question that revenge will be on the minds of Catholic Central in this one. Look for a shutdown performance from the Shamrock defense.
Catholic Central 10 OLSM 7


Birmingham Seaholm at Birmingham Groves
Seaholm has been one of the many feel good stories of the season, and what better way to end this season with another win.
Seaholm 31 Groves 21


Detroit Loyola vs. Royal Oak Shrine
Shrine has been flying under the radar for much of the season, but can’t anymore, with running back Harry Cooney, Connor Francek and Co. These guys are the real deal.
Shrine 21 Loyola 14


Pontiac Notre Dame Prep vs. Riverview Gabriel Richard
The Fighting Irish have done it all season on defense, and more of the same is to be expected this weekend.
N.D.P. 35 RGR 17


Holly at Ortonville Brandon
Pretty big game for both teams, if Brandon wins they make the playoffs. If Holly wins, they’ll be taking home a league title as well as a 7-2 record. Plenty of storylines in this one.
Holly 24 Brandon 21 in OT


Troy at Troy Athens
Athens is getting better and better with each week and there aren’t many teams hotter entering week 9 than the Red Hawks.
Athens 35 Troy 27


Farmington at Farmington Hills Harrison
Another pleasant surprise in Farmington, and while it’d be an even better story if the Falcons picked up their sixth win of the year, Harrison is playing at a higher level than anyone else around right now.
Harrison 42 Farmington 28


Lakeland at Milford
Last season, Lakeland dashed Milford’s playoff dreams in week 9 last year. No question that Milford will be seeking some revenge as the Maverick’s make a playoff push here.
Milford 37 Lakeland 24


Auburn Hills Avondale at Berkley
When in doubt, go with the hot hand, and the hot hand right now is Berkley.
Berkley  31 Avondale 27


Walled Lake Northern at Northville
Regardless of how this game plays out, Northern has a very good chance of making their first playoff appearance this year. But call it a hunch or wishful thinking, but I’ll take the upset in this one.
Upset Special #1 Northern 30 Northville 24 in OT


Southfield Lathrup at Southfield
Southfield has stumbled as of late, but there is no denying the talent the Bluejays have, and they’re too good not to make the playoffs.
Southfield 38 Lathrup 17


Oxford at Oak Park
Prescott Line has yet to be stopped this year, so there’s no reason to think that this week will be any different.
Oxford 42 Oak Park 24


West Bloomfield at Pontiac
With the type of running game the Phoenix have at their disposal, there’s no reason to think that Pontiac is going to miss the playoffs at this point.
Pontiac 31 West Bloomfield 20


Bloomfield Hills Andover at Bloomfield Hills Lahser
Lahser, also on the verge of a playoff berth has the playmakers on defense that gives the Knights the look of a playoff team, but should be careful, there’s nothing Andover would like more than to play spoiler.
Lahser 21 Andover 17


Brighton at South Lyon
Yet another pleasant surprise in the county with South Lyon, who has already locked up a playoff berth, but it would be nice to lock up a seventh win this week.
Upset Special #2 South Lyon 34 Brighton 28 in 2 OT


John Glenn at Walled Lake Central
Central, much like Southfield, has hit a bit of a rough patch over the past couple of weeks, but again should lock up win #6 and reach the playoffs for a third straight year.
W.L. Central 38 J.G. 20


Rochester Adams at Stoney Creek
Adams, behind quarterback Tony Anesse, will be taking their 15th straight trip to the playoffs with a win this week.
Adams 35 Stoney Creek 21


Belleville at Walled Lake Western
Although they lost last week against Grand Blanc, Western proved that they are the real deal, limiting an exciting Grand Blanc offense to just six second half points. These guys are all business, expect a deep playoff run for the Warriors.
W.L.W. 42 Belleville 19
