Missouri Football class 5 and class 6 district matchups

I will climb out on the end of a limb and give you my winners and point differential or spread for each district game this coming Friday/Saturday.  Spreads are based on my algorithm-based power rating.  I expect the spreads for games that have a 50+ point spread will not make that because coaches will show some compassion and put the second group or JV guys into the game by the 3rd quarter.

Don't know if I can pick 85% again this week but I will try...

Jackson over Seckman by 58
Poplar Bluff over Fox by 9
Eureka over Oakville by 48

MISSOURI CLASS 5 FOOTBALL RATINGS 10/30/19

I toyed with Missouri Boys football ratings last year and developed a fairly good algorithm that predicted play-off winners.  I didn't bother this fall until this past week, when I started looking at the 220 or so boys eleven man football scores.  It's a tedious effort but I enjoy seeing how the kids perform to the ratings.  I have to remind myself they are 16- and 17-year-olds and don't often perform at their best.  You see that in the ratings by week where they might be a 100 rating but they have a 120 game rating one week and an 80 rating against a lesser team the week. So, with not a lot of fanfare, I am posting some of the classes, starting with class 5.  There are a few great teams including Staley, Fort Zumwalt North, Chaminade and Eureka but the class of the division is Jackson. I have boldened the favorite in each district and I will make some predictions next week.  For now, the favorite of teams that have to play in to the district this week ...

Class 6 Missouri High School Football 2nd round predictions

I had a pretty good week last week, missing one of the sixteen matchups but the teams are much more competitive this week.  I actually had 7th seed Blue Springs South ranked 9 points better than Troy but picked Troy, based on MSHSAA seedings.  Ouch!  Gotta believe my own algorithm. Here's my outlook for the 2nd round, based on my ratings, not the league: Class 6 Missouri Football 2nd round 1 Christian Brothers College by 36 4 Hazelwood West No   one touches CBC.   This one is over at half-time when the CBC JV gets playing time. 3 Pattonville 2 DeSmet by 10 De Smet is too tough for Pattonville although the Pirates will hang tough until the 4th quarter. 1 Rock Bridge by 5 4 Francis Howell Rock Bridge ekes by an improving Francis Howell team that is pea...

District Finals - Missouri HS Football picks for 11/15 games

It's the third week of  Missouri HS football play-offs and district finals are Friday and Saturday. These games will be much closer than the previous weeks where the average spread was 18 to 25 points.  With a few exceptions, most games are single digit spreads.  I have taken into account the home field advantage (+3 points) in this week's prognostications. Who's hot?  Well, can anyone come close to De Smet?  A very excellent Francis Howell team, with a top 5 state rating, will be a four touchdown underdog at De Smet Friday night.  Jackson should roll on with a win over Fox.  Bolivar, undefeated in class 4, gets their wings clipped at perennial juggernaut, Webb City.  In class 3, no one appears to stop Odessa, including Center this week. Lutheran North is unstoppable in class 2 and could give De Smet a great game.  In Class 1, can Hayti or Pierce City break the championship spell that Valle Catholic has had for umpteen years? Enjoy th...
