(6-3) R2#2 Maple River @ (#1) R1#1 (1) LaMoure-Litchville-Marion (8-0) - Don't think it will be a close game. LLM 40 to 8
(6-3) R8#2 Surrey @ (#8) R7#1 St. John (6-2) - St. John is hot as can be and keeps on rolling 36 to 20
(5-4) R4#2 North Star @ (#4) R3#1 (3) Cavalier (8-0) - Cavalier is just more consistant (although I think they are beatable) 30 to 14
(7-2) R1#2 Wyndmere-Lidgerwood @ (#5) R2#2 (4) May-Port-C-G (7-1) - If WL is missing QB it won't be a good game which is too bad because I thought it would be. 42 to 18
(5-4) R6#2 Hettinger County @ (#2) R5#1 (2) New Salem-Almont (8-0) - New Salem rolls 38 to 16
(8-1) R5#2 South Border @ (#7) R6#1 Grant County-Flasher (6-2) - This should be the best game of the week. I will take SB to get it done. 28 to 26
(6-3) R3#2 North Border @ (#3) R4#1 (5) North Prairie (8-0) - NP shows they are a dominate team and wins by multiple scores. 34 to 14
(6-3) R7#2 Westhope-Newburg-Glenburn @ (#6) R8#1 (RV) Divide County (8-0) - Should be another great game and I will take Divide because of the trenches 20 to 18

33 points right
3 points wrong

Pretty sure I won.

I'm curious why did so many of you pick St. John over Surrey? I don't follow those regions closely, but Surrey beat them easily the first time too.

[Attack the Process]

Everybody probably picked St. John because they beat Surrey 58-16 in week 6.

You're right. I'm looking at the schedules, I wonder what I thought I saw

[ChickenNuggets]

There were 3 games that the outcomes flipped from the regular season. Can anyone shed light for us on what the differences were this time around?

Week 1- South Border beats Grant County/Flasher 46-34
Today- Grant County wins 44-18
I heard that GCF scored a couple defensive TD's in this game. That has to be a big part of the flipped outcome.

Week 5- Divide County Beats WNG 52-46
Today WNG wins 70-66
To me this is insane that in two games against each other these two teams combined for 234 points!

Week 6- St. John beat Surrey 58-16
Today- Surrey wins 30-6
There was a news report about St. John this past week that pointed out that they were 6-0 since starting 0-2 and have scored an average of 60 points per game over that span. Then they were shut down to 6 points today. Hats off to Surrey. They obviously figured something out giving up 52 less points the second time around!

For me, I finished with 31 out of 36 pts about Not Bad!

Saint John lost its quarterback on the second possession of the game with a knee injury. They had the fullback play quarterback for the rest of the first half, the tight end took over at quarterback the second half.

I know they had 1 pick 6 for sure.

SB was up 6-0. Grant County had a pick six to make it 8-6. Grant County would score again to make 16-6 and then I thought SB went into panic mode. I don't think SB ever punted and they threw a lot of passes. Not to mention they couldn't get a stop in the second half. If Grant County had a second defensive TD it was after the game was out of reach.
