Huskerland Bob's Crystal Ball: Week 6
Game | Why This One? | Survey Sez... |
---|---|---|
1. Blue Hill (4-0) at Lawrence-Nelson (4-0). |
For all the right reasons, most of them revolving around rivalry with some good football sprinkled in, this is an easy choice for number one. |
Blue Hill 24, Lawrence-Nelson 20. |
2. McCook (4-1) at Scottsbluff (5-0). |
Bison are hurting when Zach Schlager is hurting, which happens to be right about now. Can Scottsbluff take advantage? |
McCook 20, Scottsbluff 17. |
3. Columbus (5-0) at Omaha Skutt (3-2). |
We asked when Columbus transitions from cute little story to title contender. When here and the answer is, well, now. |
Skutt 32, Columbus 26. |
4. Omaha Burke (5-0) at Omaha Westside (4-1), Thursday. |
All eyes are pealed for the Week 9 showdown between Burke and Bellevue West. Except for the eyes on this one. |
Omaha Burke 38, Omaha Westside 24. |
5. Boone Central/Newman Grove (3-2) at Ord (4-1). |
Reggie Senior will have his hands full here, Boone much better than that record. |
Boone 30, Ord 24. |
6. Freeman (5-0) at Lincoln Lutheran (4-1). |
Lincoln Lutheran passing game yields an upset win here. |
Lincoln Lutheran 38, Freeman 34. |
7. Nebraska Lutheran (4-0) at East Butler (3-1). |
All I can say is if Nebraska Lutheran wins it will make a mess of the D-1 top ten. |
East Butler 28, Nebraska Lutheran 24. |
8. Ponca (5-0) at Battle Creek (3-2). |
All the elements are in place for an upset. Since when does a Battle Creek qualify as an upset, anyway? |
Ponca 18, Battle Creek 14. |
9. Elkhorn South (5-0) at Seward (4-1), Thursday. |
It's not like rising Seward has no chance at all but no team has beat the Storm for going on three years. |
Elkhorn South 42, Seward 21. |
10. Valentine (3-2) at Hershey (4-1). |
If there is a team in Class C-2 that deserves a break in a close game it's Hershey. Maybe the Panthers get it here. |
Hershey 14, Valentine 13. |
11. Grand Island (3-2) at Millard South (3-2). |
Great to see Millard South making some things happen after a long stretch of tough sledding. How does GI respond to its most recent tragic loss to Omaha North? |
Grand Island 21, Millard South 14. |
12. Boys Town (5-0) at Bishop Neumann (3-2). |
Boys Town, she be legit. |
Boys Town 35, Bishop Neumann 21. |
13. West Holt (3-1) at Burwell (4-0). |
West Holt made Creighton sweat it out for three quarters, what happens here? |
Burwell 45, West Holt 20. |
14. Kearney (5-0) at Millard North (2-3). |
Traditional power Millard North is young and learning but might get taught a lesson here. |
Kearney 28, Millard North 14. |
15. Hyannis (3-1) at Arthur County (3-1). |
Turns out there are several top six-man teams out west, and two of them square off here. |
Hyannis 38, Arthur County 28. |
16. Kearney Catholic (4-1) at Mitchell (3-2). |
Any game with KC's Matt Masker and Mitchell's Drake Gilliland on the field is a great game for the fans. Just a greater game for the Stars. |
Kearney Catholic 35, Mitchell 24. |
17. Hartington Cedar Catholic (5-0) at Lutheran High NE (4-1). |
Should be much higher on the list, you're right about that. |
Cedar 30, Lutheran High 14. |
18. St. Paul (3-2) at Centennial (5-0). |
St. Paul is beat up after the loss to Arcadia/Loup City but this is still a chance to compare and contrast within our most topsy turvy class. |
Centennial 35, St. Paul 15. |
19. Ogallala (3-2) at Chadron (4-1). |
You have to beat Chadron to be the best C-1 team out west and Ogallala just might turn the trick. |
Chadron 28, Ogallala 14. |
20. Medicine Valley (5-0) at Southwest (2-2). |
Southwest coming of a crazy 58-50 double OT win over Dundy. That said, Med Valley is really good. |
Medicine Valley 50, Southwest 20. |
