Predicting Week 7 high school football winners with Enquirer's Pigskin Picks
BATTLE CREEK - We have our snacks, our road pops, our map and we have gas in the truck. Pigskin Picks is going on the road this week. All five city schools in Battle Creek will be playing away from home in Week 7. It's a rarity in the Cereal City as high school fans will be too far away to smell those corn flakes near dusk when the high school games on Friday night are being kicked off. And, things are always tougher on the road. That's what Las Vegas will tell you when it comes to gambling. The road team usually give up three points in the spread just for being away from home. So, I'm thinking, that means these picks this week will be that much tougher as well. I was thinking about giving myself bonus points in my overall standings, but then I took a look and I really don't need it. Your boy is coming off back-to-back 7-1 weeks predicting high school football games in Battle Creek. What will that mean as we all get out of Battle Creek this week? We are about to find out. That leads us into our next Enquirer’s Pigskin
