| GAME (Last year’s records) | PICK | COMMENT |
| Hilmar (8-3) vs. Beyer (1-9)-a | Hilmar, 42-28 |
Playing without top receiver for 9 weeks could wreak havoc on Beyer’s spread offense |
| Turlock (0-10) at Downey (2-8) | Turlock, 38-21 |
Bulldogs won’t go 0-10 this year; kids from a dominant JV team will bolster defense |
| Patterson (6-5) vs. Davis (6-5)-b | Patterson, 24-14 |
Both are physical up front and will try to dominate clock with efficient running attacks |
| Modesto Chr. (15-0) at Oakdale (11-2) | Oakdale, 35-21 |
Both are extremely young, but Wing-T and a raucous home crowd will favor Mustangs |
| Modesto (7-4) vs. Pitman (6-5)-c | Modesto, 28-21 |
Great RB matchup: Arquel Rogers vs. Dominick Walker; Debely Stadium is beautiful |
| Enochs (4-7) at Sierra (11-2) | Enochs, 26-20 |
Sierra must rebuild after heavy losses; chance for Enochs’ LBs to make a statement |
| Johansen (4-6) at McNair (1-9) | Johansen, 31-7 |
Vikings need to get passing game going early, then turn it over to the running game |
| Atwater (8-4) at Napa (5-6) | Napa, 28-19 |
Atwater has huge holes to fill on offense, and even Napa’s average teams are potent |
| Paradise (10-2) at Merced (4-6)-d | Merced, 31-20 |
RB Eric DeAnda has a powerful line in front of him, but Paradise is a perennial power |
| Orestimba (5-5) at Livingston (6-5) | Livingston, 20-14 |
Charles Brown will provide a steady dose of running as former WAC rivals face off |
| Hughson (2-8) at Galt (5-5) | Galt, 31-20 |
Galt is nearly twice the size of Hughson, and Huskies are rebuilding both sides of line |
| Ripon (7-4) at Ceres (0-10) | Ceres, 21-20 |
Ceres will be bigger, but Ripon’s quicker; one big play could determine who is happy |
| Waterford (2-8) at Riverbank (2-8) | Waterford, 22-20 |
New coach Todd Sevick starts with a win, but this one should go down to the finish |
| Rocklin (14-1) at Los Banos (9-4) | Rocklin, 31-24 |
Rocklin returns QB from team that didn’t lose until State Medium School Bowl in ’09 |
| Ripon Chr. (4-6) at Big Valley Chr. (6-4) | Ripon Chr., 24-14 |
RC, RB Isaac Norman need an impressive start if they expect to compete for SL title |
| Kickoffs at 7:30 p.m., unless noted; a-at Downey, 5; b-at Johansen; c-at Turlock; d-at Merced College | ||
