Week 2 Football Playoff Picks

Last Week's Record: 14-6   Season Record: 134-48


Walled Lake Central at Clarkston
Central had a very impressive upset over Lake Orion, on the flip side, the Wolves had a very convincing win over Pontiac last week. Central will challenge Clarkston, but the Wolves have only lost one game on the field this season.
Clarkston 34 Central 31 in OT


Plymouth Canton at Novi Detroit Catholic Central
The winner of this game has as good of a chance as any to be playing in the state final at Ford Field. Catholic Central was impressive in their blowout win over Northville, and if they can get out to an early lead over Canton, I think the Shamrocks will be able to close out a win with the run game and defense.
Catholic Central 35 Canton 24


South Lyon at Walled Lake Western
The Warriors seemed to play without distractions last week in their win over Milford, and with the return of the five suspended players, Western should be back at full strength on Friday night, and that’s not good news for South Lyon.
Western 42 South Lyon 27


Rochester Adams at Port Huron
Adams quarterback Tony Anesse put on a show last week in the Highlanders’ round one win over Oxford. If Anesse as well as the Highlanders defense can put together performances like that throughout the rest of the postseason, Adams could go a very long way in the playoffs.
Adams 38 Port Huron 28


Birmingham Brother Rice at Farmington Hills Harrison
Harrison defensive lineman Mario Ojemudia will be sitting out in the first half in this game, and with a force like him out of the lineup, it may give the Warriors an opening to get their potent run game going. If that’s the case, Harrison may be getting a run for their money. Harrison might have the most talented team the county has had in the past 10 seasons, so they should be able to edge out a Brother Rice team that has memories of a heartbreaking loss from last season.
Harrison 38 Brother Rice 35 in 2OT


Farmington at Southfield
Farmington looks like a reenergized team after sneaking into the playoffs after their beat down of Detroit Henry Ford last week. However, Southfield’s talent is too great to overlook as the Blue Jays will be looking forward to perhaps getting a chance at revenge against Harrison next week.
Southfield 28 Farmington 21


Redford Thurston at Orchard Lake Saint Mary’s
The only team that can beat Saint Mary’s at this point, is… Well, Saint Mary’s. Their defense has been dominant and their offense has been effective enough to get the job done. Saint Mary’s looks driven to finally get their hands on the Division 3 title this year.
OLSM 42 Thurston 20


Pontiac Notre Dame Prep at Marine City
Notre Dame Prep fell victim to the injury bug at the worst time possible, with a showdown with the number 1 ranked Marine City. However, I’m still going to go with the upset, Notre Dame Prep’s defense has been dominant all season long, and I think it’ll carry them to a win in round two.
Notre Dame Prep 13 Marine City 10


Ecorse at Madison Heights Madison
Madison made quite a statement in their round one win, with the help of freshman Juan Johnson. I can’t help but to expect more of the same throughout the playoffs for Madison, way too much talent for Ecorse to handle this week.
Madison 31 Ecorse 14


Royal Oak Shrine at Detroit Loyola
Two teams that are meeting for the second time in three weeks, and unfortunately for Shrine, round two won’t be much different. Loyola is rolling right now, and there’s not much that can stop these guys at this point. It will be closer than the score was three weeks ago, but Loyola will likely take this once by a couple of scores.
Loyola 28 Shrine 17
