10 Games To Watch

Every week we bring you 10 games to watch in the state of Florida.   With those contests, we give you a breakdown along with a little unbiased prediction of the contest. We have averaged 8 wins every week, which is not bad. We were 8-2 this past week as well.   This week will be another one where playoff spots are certainly up for grabs.   Here are this week's 10 contests to keep an eye on. If you are in their area, please go and support!   Crawfordville Wakulla (2S, 9-0) at Live Oak Suwannee (2S, 6-1). While many had hoped that this would be the clash of the unbeatens, the Bulldogs were knocked off last week by Madison County, but still will be a huge obstacle as the War Eagles' search for a perfect regular season as they head into the playoffs. If you are in the area, this is a must contest between two well coached and talented programs.   THE PICK: Wakulla 27, Suwannee 18   Dunnellon (2S, 5-2) at Bushnell South Sumter (2S, 8-1). This is a district game that the once beaten Raiders hold an advantage. One of the top programs over the past few years, this is a team that has won 18 regular season games and will be ready against a team that has enjoyed success but may be overmatched on the road. Two very solid programs on display.   THE PICK: South Sumter 35, Dunnellon 13   Eustis (2S, 5-3) at Mount Dora (2S, 6-2). This is one of those rivalries that is also a district game that has brought these two programs together for several decades for bragging rights. While Eustis is unbeaten in the district, keep an eye on the Hurricanes, who are at home and will feed off a large crowd.   THE PICK: Eustis 20, Mount Dora 17   Jacksonville University Christian (1M, 5-3) at Clearwater Academy International (Independent, 4-4). This is a matchup of two programs who have not played up to their potential this season, and a contest like this could change the fortunes for both schools. The Christians are headed to the playoffs but are looking for a higher seeding. CAI is loaded with talent in all classes and hoping to come away with a big win on the road.   THE PICK: Clearwater Academy International 27, University Christian 21   Lake Mary (4M, 8-0) at Sanford Seminole (4M, 7-2). Game of the week. There is no other way to put it as the Rams, who have been the talk of the central Florida area this year, take their successful act on the road to a program that has enjoyed plenty of success in the past. Does the home field make a difference for the Seminoles? We will see. This could be one of those instant classics. If there are tickets left, get out and watch it live!   THE PICK: Seminole 28, Lake Mary 24   Port Orange Spruce Creek (4S, 6-3) at Oviedo Hagerty (4M, 6-2). Another of those games this week is certainly one of those under the radar contests. A home team that has been playing very well all season against a program that has been challenged by some quality opponents. While many feel Hagerty has the goods, others are pointing to Spruce Creek's more challenging schedule. Who will it be?   THE PICK: Hagerty 28, Spruce Creek 20   Miami Ransom Everglades (Independent, 8-0) at Miami Archbishop Carroll (1M, 7-1). A small school Miami-Dade County contest that will pit two programs who have had success this season and have been looking forward to this key matchup. While the Raiders are an independent team with no defined playoffs, the Bulldogs are a program that has Miami's True North Classical Academy and powerhouse Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna in the region. If you are in the area? Check this contest out.   THE PICK: Archbishop Carroll 30, Ransom Everglades 24   Rockledge (3S, 5-3) at Eau Gallie (3S, 6-2). Here are two programs that are among the top teams in the Space Coast – with the Commanders already losing to power Cocoa and the Raiders closing out the season with the Tigers in the annual BBQ Bowl next Friday. Both teams are talented and are well coached. This should be quite a matchup.   THE PICK: Eau Gallie 23, Rockledge 17   Seffner Armwood (3M, 7-1) at Tampa Bay Tech (3M, 8-1). It has been a banner year for both teams as they have been challenged all season and have come through. The Titans lost for the first time this season to a red-hot Tampa Jesuit program, but this is a new week and this much-anticipated district showdown should go to the wire.   THE PICK: Armwood 28, Tampa Bay Tech 27   Tampa Hillsborough (3M, 6-2) at Tampa Jesuit (3M, 6-2). After a slow start where they have up over 100 points in two games, the Tigers are back and have played well as they head into this district title game. The Terriers are talented and have played well but do they have enough to slow down a program that has hit their sweet spot. THE PICK: Jesuit 35, Hillsborough 24   Zephyrhills (3S, 7-2) at Wesley Chapel Cypress Creek (3S, 8-0). On the surface many are not giving the unbeaten Coyotes a chance in this district title game at home against a team that has been playing at this level for a long time. You can take an eight-game winning streak, 370 points scored and dominate and throw that out the window. We shall see what happens.
