Last Week's Record: 8-5 Season Record: 81-28
Clarkston at Oak Park
It's been a fantastic bounce back season for Oak Park, but the Knights haven't played a team quite like Clarkston yet and there's a reason why the Wolves are currently ranked No. 1 in the state.
Clarkston 38, Oak Park 28
Troy at Oxford
This just might be the most interesting match-up of the week, a pair of 5-3 teams hoping to pick up that sixth win of the season and assure themselves of a playoff spot. But I'll go with the team with the slightly better defense.
Oxford 21, Troy 10
Lake Orion at Farmington
It might be a little different if Lake Orion had won last week, but Farmington will be facing an angry Drangon's squad which means that the Falcons will head into the state playoffs as one of, if not the best 6-3 team in the state.
Lake Orion 35, Farmington 31
Bloomfield Hills Lahser at Hazel Park
You can expect plenty of points from this match-up as two of the better offenses from the area will be on full display. But look for a desperate Lahser team to show up on Friday night and get the sixth and final win to become playoff eligible.
Lahser 45, Hazel Park 42
Rochester at Rochester Adams
Rochester will be desperate for that sixth win, but there aren't many teams that have played better than Adams over the course of the past two weeks and the Highlanders just might end up ruining week nine for the Falcons.
Adams 31, Rochester 28 in OT
Stoney Creek at Southfield
I haven't made too many upset picks this season, but Stoney Creek seems like a team destined to make the playoffs in Brad Zube's first year as head coach. Look for Sean Scullen, Joe Cox and Co. to get the job done and lead the Cougars to the playoffs. Also look for Southfield to make the playoffs at 5-4.
Stoney Creek 24, Southfield 21 in OT
Pinckney at South Lyon East
It'll still be unlikely, but the Cougars will keep their hopes of making the playoffs alive this week to move to 5-4, and just maybe be one of the few five win teams to make their way into the playoffs. Either way, a big step forward for an up and coming SLE squad.
SLE 35, Pinckney 21
Detroit Cody at Walled Lake Central
It's been a disappointing season for the young Vikings, but Nick Krumm and Zach Goor will give the Central faithful something to look forward to for next season.
Central 28, Cody 13
South Lyon at Walled Lake Northern
An unbelievable season for the Knights keeps moving, look for Northern to not only improve to 7-2, but possibly host a playoff game. This is without a doubt a "dream season" for Northern
Northern 49, South Lyon 28
Pontiac Notre Dame Prep vs. Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard (At Ford Field)
Surprise, surprise, the Fighting Irish are going for a second straight undefeated season in the Prep Bowl on Saturday. Like I've said on a number of occasions so far this season, picking against Notre Dame Prep is just a bad, bad idea.
NDP 42, AAGR 24
Milford at Lakeland
These two teams have been known for spoiling playoff hopes for one another, but Lakeland is going to end that trend this week behind Dalton Christie and Anthony Waite.
Lakeland 24, Milford 21 (in 2OT)
Orchard Lake St. Mary's vs. Novi Detroit Catholic Central (At Ford Field)
Beating any team at any level in back-to-back weeks is tough to do. Last week, the Shamrocks proved me wrong in a big way, and they'll have to do it again this weekend. Just too much talent on the OLSM sidelines to lose two straight games.
OLSM 21, NDCC 17
