Games of the Week
Luella (5-1/4A) at Northside (4-2)
            The Eagles have a nice record, but the size of the two losses is notable, and they were off to let the 52-7 hammering by Colquitt County fester and inspire chatter around Green Street.
TSR pick: Northside by 23

Washington County (4-1/AA) at Perry (4-1)
            What a great non-region game that just developed a couple weeks ago. Both expected to be undefeated, but now both are kind of pissed at how things went last week. The Panthers better not look ahead.
TSR pick: Perry by 10 (upset watch)

Crisp County (3-3/3-0) at Peach County (3-2/3-0)
            Crisp County dominated Mary Persons a chunk more than Peach County did. The Cougars were thiiiiis close to knocking off the Trojans last year. That kind of thing doesn’t happen twice in a row with Peach County.
TSR pick: Peach County by 20

Macon County (5-0/3-0) at Schley County (5-0/3-0)
            Schley County whitewashed Taylor County 55-0 three weeks before Macon County smacked Taylor County 49-0. Talk about some defenses. Little things, and big thing like penalties, matter.
TSR pick: Schley County by 9

Stratford (4-1) at Mount de Sales (3-2)
            Stratford comes in after the rare game as the dominatee, losing 42-6 at Calvary Day. Practice has unlikely been a parade.
TSR pick: Stratford by 10

FPD (3-2) at Tattnall (5-0/1-0)
            Tattnall is clearly for real, on both sides of the ball. FPD is a little bit of an enigma, but healthier, which makes the Vikings a little less of an enigma.
TSR pick: Tattnall by 17

Notables
Baldwin (3-2/2-0) at West Laurens (3-3/1-1)
            The teams aren’t quite as close as the records. The Raiders are down, but play hard. Get that band rocking at home and get off to a good start, and this might be interesting.
TSR pick: Baldwin by 18

Bleckley County (6-0/2-0) at Lamar County (4-2/1-1)
            The Trojans are the fifth team fighting favorites for a playoff spot, and have already lost to one of those favorites. Will they bow up at home and do a lot better than last year’s 30-0 loss? Yes, but …
TSR pick: Bleckley County by 19

ACE (2-2/2-0) at Hancock Central (0-5/0-2)
            Here we sit with the defending region champ in severe must-win mode against the team that fired its head coach after a 48-0 season-opening loss and can all but clinch a playoff spot with a win.
TSR pick: ACE by 3

Westfield (3-1) at Briarwood (5-2)
            Briarwood is a AA team that should give the Hornets a test for awhile. But Westfield is rounding into form, and that’ll be too much.
TSR pick: Westfield by 17
