OAA Picks: Week Eight

Written October 16th 2014 11:05 PM

1. Clarkston vs. 10. Orion, when looking at this game, most of the so called media experts are picking Clarkston to win this game. Most base it on their QB, DJ Zezula and Clarkston’s powerful offense but Lake Orion has a pretty good offense of its own. Expect this game to be a shootout

DD PICK, LAKE ORION 49 CLARKSTON 42

ANT PICK, LAKE ORION 38 CLARKSTON 35

KEITH DUNLAP PICK, CLARKSTON 34 LAKE ORION 27

2. Oak Park vs. 5. Southfield, like the prior game, this one is also bound to be a classic. Curious to see how Oak Park’s QB, Chauncey Lowlman does against Southfield’s D1 secondary but the Knights have a linebacker named Junior McMullen who will make the difference.

DD PICK, OAK PARK 20, SOUTHFIELD 16

ANT PICK, OAK PARK 27, SOUTHFIELD 24

KEITH DUNLAP PICK, OAK PARK 29 SOUTHFIELD 23

3. West Bloomfield vs. Stoney Creek, could fireworks galore in Rochester? Can Joe Platz’s defense contain the powerful duo of Tristan Jackson and Michael King? Most so called media experts say no, sadly I’m one of them.

DD PICK, WEST BLOOMFIELD 41, STONEY CREEK 0

ANT PICK, WEST BLOOMFIELD 28, STONEY CREEK 14

KEITH DUNLAP PICK, WEST BLOOMFIELD 38, STONEY CREEK 17

4. Harrison vs. North Farmington, this battle of Farmington won’t be much of a contest

DD PICK, HARRISON 56, NORTH FARMINGTON 0

ANT PICK, HARRISON 49, NORTH FARMINGTON 7

KEITH DUNLAP PICK, HARRISON 51, NORTH FARMINGTON 10

6. Farmington vs. 9. Groves, in this battle of Falcons, both come into it for different reasons. Groves has a fantastic chance to get the job done while the so called experts think Farmington is the real deal, I disagree they have no business in this division.

DD PICK, GROVES 31, FARMINGTON 28

ANT PICK, FARMINGTON 35, GROVES 21

KEITH DUNLAP PICK, FARMINGTON 21, GROVES 14

7. Oxford vs. Bloomfield Hills, Oxford was blown out last week by West Bloomfield. Nate Emery and the Blackhawks will give the Wildcats big time problems especially on defense. Glacier Wellington needs this the worst way. Expect someone to storm the field.

DD PICK, BLOOMFIELD HILLS 31, OXFORD 27

ANT PICK, OXFORD 35, BLOOMFIELD HILLS 14

KEITH DUNLAP PICK, OXFORD 23, BLOOMFIELD HILLS 14

8. Berkley vs. Southfield Lathrup, game could be a little tricky for the Bears but confident the defense will pull it through. Welcome to the playoffs Bears

DD PICK, BERKLEY 21, LATHRUP 17

ANT PICK, BERKLEY 35, LATHRUP 10

KEITH DUNLAP PICK, BERKLEY 24, LATHRUP 7

Troy Athens vs. Troy, the battle of Troy, someone is getting their first league, I know who, the one with the passing game

DD PICK, TROY ATHENS 35, TROY 7

ANT PICK, TROY ATHENS 28, TROY 27

KEITH DUNLAP PICK, TROY ATHENS 31, TROY 21

Rochester Adams vs. Rochester, the battle of Rochester, Adams has not lost this game since 1996, add another year.

DD PICK, ADAMS 35, ROCHESTER 0

ANT PICK, ADAMS 42, ROCHESTER 3

KEITH DUNLAP PICK, ADAMS 42, ROCHESTER 7

Ferndale vs. Hazel Park, Erik Royal will most likely be the coach of the year, got Ferndale back to respectability

DD PICK, FERNDALE 46, HAZEL PARK 0

ANT PICK, FERNDALE 42, HAZEL PARK 7

KEITH DUNLAP PICK, FERNDALE 49, HAZEL PARK 10

Seaholm vs. Royal Oak, Jim Chapman, one of my biggest disappointments whether in the white or not

DD PICK, SEAHOLM 48, ROYAL OAK 0

ANT PICK, SEAHOLM 28, ROYAL OAK 0

KEITH DUNLAP PICK, SEAHOLM 45, ROYAL OAK 14

Avondale vs. Pontiac, going to be a rough homecoming for Pontiac

DD PICK, AVONDALE 63, PONTIAC 0

ANT PICK, AVONDALE 35, PONTIAC 14

KEITH DUNLAP PICK, AVONDALE 31, PONTIAC 6
