Remmy took a one-game lead on Kyle by going 7-for-7 in predictions last week. We've got a couple of excellent matchups this week, but only one divisional game (St. Paul-Watertown). Divisional play returns in bulk next week.
Holy Cross at Ansonia: This one has to be the game of the week, with due respect to Woodland-Wolcott. The Chargers-Crusaders rivalry is always a good game, and like usually, there's a good bit on the line here between undefeated teams. Don't be surprised if both teams score in the 40s. It could definitely come down to which team has the ball last.
Picks: Kyle- Ansonia, 44-42. Remmy- Ansonia, 33-15.
Woodland at Wolcott: Number two in the pecking order of important games this week is Woodland-Wolcott. The Hawks didn't look as good as most of us thought they would against Kennedy, whereas Wolcott looked excellent once again. Woodland's defense played better last week, but the Eagles are a new animal.
Picks: Kyle- Wolcott, 35-21. Remmy- Wolcott, 40-28.
St. Paul at Watertown: The Falcons had a chance to win a big game last week and did not cash-in. Watertown looked suspect early against the Cats last week but regrouped and earned a solid victory.
Picks: Kyle- Watertown, 41-20. Remmy- Watertown, 35-27.
Naugatuck at Derby: Some are calling for an upset alert in this one for Naugy. Don't bet on it. The Hounds looked excellent once again against a very solid team in Torrington. If St. Paul and Sacred Heart put up over 30 points on Derby's defense, the Raiders are in trouble here.
Picks: Kyle- Naugatuck, 55-13. Remmy- Naugatuck, 49-17.
Torrington at Seymour: Another tough week for the Cats. They played the Indians tough for one half and need a lot of the same this week - for an entire four quarters. T-Town is looking for redemption after their loss at home to the Hounds.
Picks: Kyle- Torrington, 34-14. Remmy- Torrington, 45-13.
Sacred Heart at Crosby: A good passing attack versus very physical runners. Stopping Ifill and company will not be easy. The Hearts are 2-0 coming into this week with virtually no running game. The Dogs are still searching for their first win.
Picks: Kyle- Sacred Heart, 41-22. Remmy- Crosby, 28-20.
Kennedy at Wilby: Kennedy played a little better last week against Woodland, and Wilby has been fairly competitive in the first half against Holy Cross and Wolcott. Still, probably the most yawn-worthy game of the week.
Picks: Kyle- Kennedy, 24-20. Remmy- Kennedy 26-13.
