5A bracket - 2nd round picks | Posted on Best in the World Blog by supatigah on Nov 20, 2009 at 11:29 am | | |
Archbishop Shaw at Acadiana
A matchup of two of the best programs in the state with Shaw having played in the Dome the 3 previous seasons (going 0-3 in the 4A Finals). Acadiana has a tough to stop veer offense keyed by QB Ryan Bergeron and a duo of RBs. Acadiana has really taken off with the emergence of RB Josh Pillard to complement RB Blair Broussard. Shaw has battled some key injuries all season and they have won by consistently running the football. I think Acadiana will have a slight edge offensively and I think Shaw will have a tough time scoring enough to stay with Acadiana. The Rams don't like to throw it but they will to keep the defense honest, Shaw will not throw it all and you won't beat Acadiana just trying to run over them. Acadiana has had a few bad stretches where they turned the ball over and it cost them the Barbe game. So if they have a few turnovers it could turn the game around on them. I don't see that happening so my pick is ACADIANA
Ouachita Parish at Central
Way too much offense from Central for the Lions. OPHS has the ability to score some points themselves with a nice power running game but with Central you really can't stop them. The OPHS game plan will be to try to slow the Wildcats down enough to outscore them and only one team has managed to that (St Paul's way back in week 2). OPHS can put some pressure on QB Briscoe (they had 9 sacks last week against WestJeff) and they can match up somewhat in the secondary with all of the Central receivers. With OPHS spread out all over the field on defense I expect CHS RB McKenzie Price to have a big game running the football. A long trip for OPHS and CENTRAL should roll at home
Jesuit at Archbishop Rummel
11 weeks in a row Rummel has been consistent like a metronome, play tough defense score enough to win. I think that streak ends this week. Rummel's leading tackler Phil Helmstetter is still out with a sprained ankle and Freshman QB Darian Williams will start for the fourth week in a row for Luke Cartozzo. Rummel needed a fourth quarter TD to break a 14-14 tie with Jesuit in week 7 when they were healthy and they had a tough time offensively with 32 seed Capt Shreve last week. Jesuit's leading rusher Gary Langlois broke his leg in week 10 but the Blue Jays have enough depth to continue on without him. I think the pressure and intensity of the situation will get to the Rummel freshman QB and the struggling Raiders offense will put their great defense in too many holes. I expect a low scoring, highly intensive game and to me that favors JESUIT.
Catholic Baton Rouge at Comeaux
I predicted the Comeaux upset of Dutchtown last week because of the one dimensional running offense of Dutchtown playing into the strength of Comeaux's defense. Well this week the matchup turns against Comeaux as the Catholic Bears come to town. I wont say that CHSBR is one dimensional with Jr QB Zach Oliver throwing the ball, but they are very effective passing team and that will give Comeaux's secondary some problems. On offense Comeaux's QB Michael Strentz (bad shoulder) healthier by the week and he is a difference maker but Comeaux has been somewhat turnover prone. The Spartans discovered a new feature back in Jordan Porter and the running game could give the Bears some problems but I think Zach Oliver passing will create some big plays for CATHOLIC and allow them to cruise into round three.
Barbe at Hahnville
Barbe Soph QB Jared Foster has returned from a broken collarbone he suffered in week four and has picked up where he left off directing the high powered Bucs offense. Hahnville has an outstanding QB in Brian Ensminger (nephew of former LSU QB Steve Ensminger). There are two big factors that swing this game in Hanhville's direction to me. The first is Hahnville's 6'2 202lb JR TB Alfred Blue. Barbe has a quality TB themselves in Mickey Guillory (1200yds 18TD) but Blue is a difference maker. The second factor is the home field advantage. Lagrange went to Boutte and gave HHS a scare last week but HHS woke up in the second half and took over the game. With the Bucs coming to town this week I expect HHS to be up and prepared to play and their stadium is one of the few real home field "advantages" in the state. So Alfred Blue and the home field give HAHNVILLE the win.
West Monroe at St. Augustine
Kind of a weird game here. No one knows what St Aug team that will show up from week to week and there are two huge question marks surrounding the WM Rebels. Will QB Paul Turner return from injury (achilles) and will DE Jordan Allen play with a turf toe? Frankly I don't think it matters because WM is an efficient machine that just plugs in one part for another. St Aug has all of the talent in the world but they are in pretty deep waters against WM in the playoffs. The last time St Aug won a playoff game was 2000, so the experience and coaching edge is way in WM's favor. I expect this to be an ugly game, which plays into WM's hands, they always tend to win those ugly games that come down to one or two plays. So give the REBELS the road win on the backs of Shows and Arledge, just like always.
St. Paul at Thibodaux
Last year these two teams played an all time thriller with St Paul losing on a last second THS FG 25-22. This year a gimpy Trevon Reed for THS means there won't be nearly as much intrigue or excitement. Thibodaux beat STM in OT last week with Reed playing last week with a knee brace on his left knee and he appeared to be about 80% healthy. That won't be enough to counteract the bruising running game and efficient passing game that ST PAUL will put on the Tigers undersized defense.
South Lafourche at Westgate
Another weird matchup. SLHS went 1-9 last year, got a new coach and so far is 10-1 this year. Westgate had their usual up and down regular season but they are a different team every year in the playoffs. SLHS is huge across the OL and DL and they will use that size to wear out the undersized Westgate lines. Westgate doesn't have much depth either and that will be a big problem for them against the Tarpons. Tigers QB Diontae Spencer is a game breaker capable of winning a game single handedly on offense but I suspect SLHS will do to Westgate what STM did to them. Use a big OL to mash the Tigers front 7, wear them out and keep Spencer off the field. If SLHS doesn't turn the ball over and contains Spencer then SOUTH LAFOURCHE should win this comfortably.

A word about the numbers by each team. The saints with a +87 does not mean
they are 87 point favorites. This means they are 87 team units better than the
rams based on the 6 measurements I use.
The strongest team in the league would have a 6
the weakest team would have 192.
So the numbers in the tables show how far apart the two
teams are on this scale from 6 to 192
The top teams seem to be coming to the top.There are two groups all bunched up
so there are 7 games too close to call this week.

week 9 results | Posted on Buddy's NFL Playbook by supatigah on Nov 12, 2009 at 11:06 am | | |
Once again, there are a lot of teams not living up to
the numbers they were able to generate early in the year.
So they are getting their butts kicked by teams that have decided
they want to be closer to the top. That leaves a ladder
that is still in turmoil after 9 weeks. Maybe the nfl is getting
the parity it really wants, but I don't think so.
The games that were too close to call went 1-3 and the rest of
the games went 5-4. Overall that's 6-7 which is the first time in years
the rankings have had a losing record after 9 weeks.
Time to go rerank and see what the new ladder looks like.

Week 9 rankings | Posted on Buddy's NFL Playbook by supatigah on Nov 12, 2009 at 11:05 am | | |
Posted November 12th, 2009 07:09 AM IP
-New post-
ranking after week 9
I measure 6 things to develop my rankings. A perfect team
would have 6 power points. The worst team would have
192. It usually starts off wacky but the cream seems to
rise to the top as we move from week to week. They are bunched
up in groups right now. That's because the cream hasn't had
enough games to rise to the top yet.I have every confidence that
it will as we move along. It has for years.
These are the new rankings after the week 8 games.
For those who don't understand, any team above would
currently be favored over any team ranked below them
1. pats........47

5A Bracket - 1st Round Picks | Posted on Best in the World Blog by supatigah on Nov 12, 2009 at 10:23 am | | |
32 Shreve at 1 Rummel - Rummel
Rummel is 10-0, Shreve is a mediocre team in a weak district a long way from home
17 Airline at 16 Jesuit - Jesuit
Jesuit is 6-4 and has played some very good teams tough, Airline is another mediocre team in a weak district a long way from home
24 South Terrebonne at 9 Barbe - Barbe
Barbe has two tough losses (Evangel and Rummel) but they have been winning with their 2nd and 3rd string QBs and ST doesn't matchup with them at all
25 Lagrange at 8 Hahnville - Hahnville
this shouldn't be a game at all but Lagrange is better than a 25 seed and could give HHS a scare for a little while. HHS will be too much for them at home.
28 Central Lafourche at 5 South Lafourche - South Lafourche
rematch of week 10 that SLHS won comfortably and I expect them to win comfortably again
21 Westgate at 12 Mandeville - Westgate
Westgate is better than a 21 seed and Mandeville is worse than a 12 seed. Westgate has a difference maker at QB (Diontae Spencer) and they are a speed team that has been hurt by all of the bad weather we have had on 8 of the 10 Friday nights. Mandeville hasn't played a team with a winning record since 9/25 (they lost).
20 West Jefferson at 13 Ouachita Parish - OPHS
WJ lost their first three then won 7 in a row and I want to give them some love but SELA public schools always seem to have trouble when they have to go up north in the playoffs. So give this to OPHS with the home field advantage
29 New Iberia at 4 Central - Central
This one will be over early. CHS may be the best offensive team in 5A and NISH won't be able to stop them.
30 Terrebonne at 3 Acadiana - Acadiana
Veer machine rolls all over Terrebonne and sets up a nifty Shaw at Acadiana Rd 2 game
19 Higgins at 14 Shaw - Shaw
Higgins lost to Shaw in week one and I expect more of the same although it could be closer than some would think
22 Denham Springs at 11 Catholic BTR - Catholic
the two best teams DSHS played this season (CHSBR and Central) drummed them and I don't expect this to much of a game.
27 Comeaux at 6 Dutchtown - Comeaux
Dutchtown has some nice wins and some ugly losses but I can't help but think they are over seeded at 6. Comeaux is under seeded at 27 because they lost some games they shouldn't have (NISH and Carencro). I am predicting an upset here on a hunch because Dutchtown is very one dimensional and Comeaux is tough against the run. Comeaux QB Michael Strentz has been nursing a bad shoulder but he should be able to make some plays with his legs and throw it enough to keep Dutchtown off balance. If DTown blows them out I won't be surprised, if Comeaux wins a squeaker I won't be surprised either.
26 Destrehan at 7 St Paul- St Paul
St Paul's has a big OL and a smart, physical football team that won't beat themselves. Destrehan has come back to reality after winning 5A back to back and St Paul's wins comfortably.
23 Thibodaux at 10 St Thomas More - STM
the most interesting matchup in round one for various reasons. Thibodaux has some ugly losses when they were playing without QB Trevon Reed. STM has played a brutal schedule and done far more than the experts forecasted for them in the preseason. STM's strengths are the OL and DL, Thibodaux's OL and DL are average at best. I don't think Reed is enough to beat STM by himself, but he is enough to keep it close until the STM power running game wears the Tigers out.
18 St Aug at 15 East St John - St Aug
Two teams that have feasted on the weak on their schedule and struggled with the better teams on their schedule. St Aug gets the edge because I think St Aug is better defensively than ESJ.
31 Brother Martin at 2 West Monroe - West Monroe
won't be a game at all and sets up an interesting 2nd round matchup with WMHS at St Aug

Week 8 results | Posted on Buddy's NFL Playbook by supatigah on Nov 4, 2009 at 2:32 pm | | |
Well this was a strange week. The 5 games that were
listed as too close to call all went in the direction
of the lower ranked team. I would have expected them
to go 3-2 or 2-3 but not 0-5.
The other 8 games went 6-2, and neither loss surprises me.
both games were within 2 slots of being too close to call.
Put Favre in that setting with that much emotion and he will
probably play like he did. I remember the week he lost his father and how he played that week.
The Broncos have had a record better than their efficiency number would indicate all year. So coming back to earth a little isn't surprising.The ravens efficiency number has been better than their record indicates so it really isn't a surprise either.
