Oxford at 1. West Bloomfield:

The Lakers have been rolling on all cylinders all season long. The Wildcats have no chance in this game unless they can keep the football for a long period of time. It will be a happy homecoming for West Bloomfield.

Bloomfield Hills at Orion:

The Dragons knowthey aren’t going to the playoffs has to find an identity on both sides of the football. The pride is shot and the alumni’s aren’t happy. The Blackhawks 27-26 loss to Orion last season might prove it wasn’t a joke and that maybe the Dragons are overrated.

2. Harrison at 9. Farmington:

The Hawks enter this rivalry game as perhaps the favorite to win the White going undefeated since losing week one to East Kentwood. The Falcons beat Rochester but haven’t had a lot of success against their city rival on 12 Mile. If Farmington wants to prove they belong then they must win this game.

The Blue Jays have been a hit and miss team this season with losses to Detroit Cass Tech and Harrison. They shouldn’t have any problems with a Falcons team that has struggled this season with injuries and consistency. Southfield will have a big one with Oak Park next week.

SAMMY PICK: SOUTHFIELD 42, ROCHESTER 0.

The Knights have won three straight games after starting the season 0-3. Oak Park plays a Maples team that is desperate for a win and has struggled down the stretch. The Knights are still in must win mode know they have a big one with Southfield next week. Anything can happen in the Maples Forest.

6. Berkley at 5. Groves:

This game will decide the Blue crown, both the Falcons and Bears split last season’s meetings with Berkley winning the regular season meeting but Groves won the playoff meeting. this season’s game could also decide home field as well for the playoffs as its possible both teams will see each other in the playoffs. Groves hasn’t lost yet while Berkley lost to Holly in week one. This will be a good one to watch.

SAMMY PICK: GROVES 31, BERKLEY 28.

ANT PICK: GROVES 35, BERKLEY 21.

7. Lathrup at Pontiac:

The Chargers have turned it around in recent weeks winning two straight games. Lathrup could be a playoff team in its final season as a school. They will go to Wisner Stadium and face a Phoenix team whom scored their first points of the season last week against Ferndale. This could be something special in the making in Lathrup Village.

SAMMY PICK: LATHRUP 28, PONTIAC 0.

The Ravens lost a tough one to Berkley last week but they did show signs of progress in the process. They need to win out if they have any shot at the playoffs and one of those games is against Groves next week. The Vikings took a step back in a loss to Lathrup but they are improved then where they were last season.
