GAME	PICK	COMMENT
Los Banos (6-3) at Buhach Colony (6-3)-a	LB, 28-21	LB has back-to-back shutouts, but Thunder too good to go scoreless; LB gets title with win
Pitman (5-4) at Merced (4-5)-b	Merced, 21-13	Merced gets a title and playoff berth with a win; Pitman must win to have any playoff shot
Atwater (6-3) at Turlock (0-9)	Atwater, 42-21	Falcons see this as a playoff tuneup; Bulldogs just looking to end a rare winless season
Enochs (4-5) vs. Modesto (6-3)-c	Modesto, 35-20	Panthers' balanced attack has produced five straight wins; one more and it also has a title
Downey (2-7) at Johansen (3-6)	Downey, 42-35	Last game for Downey QB Jason Lee and city's best-ever passing offense, so don't miss it
Oakdale (8-1) at Sonora (8-1), 7	Oakdale, 28-20	When's the last time these two met without a title on the line? Be there early or you'll stand
East Union (4-5) at Manteca (6-3), 7	Manteca, 42-13	Buffs part of four-team power structure in VOL and they're getting ready for the playoffs
Weston Ranch (3-6) at Sierra (8-1), 7	Sierra, 35-7	T-wolves expect to have RB Jarrod Daniels in the backfield, and few foes have stopped him
Central Valley (3-6) at Ceres (0-9), 7	CV, 31-14	VOL does it right, saving rivalries for Week 10; gives both teams plenty to keep playing for
Escalon (8-1) at Ripon (7-2)	Escalon, 35-20	Cougars need to reduce mistakes, or neighboring Ripon could be celebrating an upset win
Riverbank (2-7) at Hughson (1-8)	Hughson, 21-13	Home field is worth a TD for Huskies; Bruins have lost five in a row after their solid start
Livingston (6-3) at Central Catholic (8-1)	CC, 49-14	Raiders have scored 44 or more four weeks in a row, and no sign their offense is slowing
Hilmar (8-1) at Patterson (5-4)	Hilmar, 24-20	All eyes on Hilmar QB Andrew Olson, a soph making his first start; both are in the playoffs
Orestimba (4-5) at Gustine (1-8)	Orestimba, 35-14	Been a solid for year for Warriors, who join the TVL next year with some solid juniors back
Denair (4-5) vs. Turlock Chr. (6-3)-d	Denair, 31-28	Coyotes hope to ride RB Dylan Souza to victory and playoffs; this one's going to the end
Waterford (2-7) at Le Grand (5-4)	Le Grand, 35-13	Remember when Le Grand was 0-4? Bulldogs clinch the outright SL with a victory tonight
Delhi (9-0) at Mariposa (4-5)	Mariposa, 49-7	Grizzlies have a great one in RB Cody Christopher: 525 yards, eight TDs in last two games
Linden (5-4) at Summerville (8-1)	S'ville, 45-35	Both these teams love to pass, but QB Zach Roberson enjoys more weapons downfield
Amador (3-6) at Argonaut (5-4)	Argonaut, 42-14	Argonaut needs a win to reach playoffs; it's a team no one wants to see in the first round
Bret Harte (3-6) at Calaveras (5-4)	Calaveras, 28-7	Redskins are in playoffs; big game could push RB Monti Wilson (1,324 yards) over 1,500
Stone Ridge (3-6) at Big Valley (5-4)	Big Valley, 21-7	Lions have shot at playoffs with win, but lack of passing game means it's up to the RBs
