Have a look at the state's top games and who is favored in WEEK 7.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#3 Lake Oswego @&nbsp;<strong>#1 West Linn (-8.5)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>West Linn has yet to allow a point to an Oregon team this season but that will likely end tonight. Lake O is playing good ball and has the athletes to stay in this game. Look for the Lions to make someone other than [player_tooltip player_id='402416' first='Lamarcus' last='Bell'] beat them. Lake Oswego will need to avoid turnovers and penalties if they want to win this.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(-42) #2 Central Catholic</strong>&nbsp;@ Sandy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sandy isn't a terrible team but Nelson beat them by 40+. Central dropped the hammer on Nelson in the 2^nd&nbsp;half last week, winning by 25. Give the Rams and new head Charlie Landgraf a lot of credit as they haven't missed a beat even with all of the transfers.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#4 Tualatin @ #5 Lakeridge&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>PICK'EM</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's tough to pick a winner here. I would consider QB [player_tooltip player_id='285857' first='Nolan' last='Keeney'] to be the X factor. That said as Lakeridge is super legit, playing West Linn tough last Friday in the 13-0 loss.&nbsp; Expect this to be a three-point ball game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(-32) #6 Sheldon</strong>&nbsp;@ #15 South Medford&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Irish have shown no mercy on their opponents this season and I don't expect it to start now. South played an undefeated Sprague team tough last week, losing 28-24, but Sheldon is a completely different animal outscoring opposing teams 325-46 on the year.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#10 Mountainside @&nbsp;<strong>#7 Jesuit (-5)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If Mountainside can figure out a way to beat Jesuit it would likely be the necessary burst of momentum needed prior to the playoffs. We will learn a lot about both teams by how they play tonight, with 2026 standout [player_tooltip player_id='1232699' first='Cade' last='Mitchell'] getting his chance to help the Mavericks win their first Metro League title. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Crusaders have had numerous kids step up highlighted by RB [player_tooltip player_id='1474324' first='Dominic' last='Locati'] and WR/DB's [player_tooltip player_id='770006' first='Joe' last='Stimpson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='285867' first='Grant' last='Valley'].&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(-47) #8 Nelson</strong>&nbsp;@ Gresham</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Over by half..&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(-24.5) #9 Sherwood&nbsp;</strong>@ Mcminnville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mcminnville is a decent football team but the Bowmen have 6A state POY candidate [player_tooltip player_id='1103727' first='Wilson' last='Medina'] and a bunch of solid athletes. Look for Sherwood to put the game away in the 2^nd&nbsp;half if not before.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(-2) #11 Sprague</strong>&nbsp;@ #14 Grants Pass</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Oly's are 7-0 but haven't really played anybody and almost got beat by South Medford last week. Grants Pass sits at 5-1 and have been playing some good football behind sophomore QB [player_tooltip player_id='796694' first='Jordan' last='Rossetta']. It will be a packed house at GP.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(-1.5) #13 Tigard</strong>&nbsp;@ #12 Oregon City&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Both of these teams would likely win other 6A conferences within the state but will finish as the #5 and #6 teams in the TRL. Look for this to be one of the better games statewide.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
