Flagler Palm Coast vs. Matanzas: FPC wins 24-17. I know why this was chosen as the Bright House Network Game of the Week. This game is expected to break last year’s attendance record. Matanzas made the rivalry interesting last season, winning its first contest in the series. This was, by far, the hardest game to pick this week, but I believe FPC will avenge its loss from last season and beat the Pirates at the ship in a thriller. The Bulldogs played with mostly underclassmen last season and kept the game close. Byrd will have a bigger game this time around.

Father Lopez vs. Melbourne Central Catholic: MCC wins 45-14. Father Lopez has lost big to Melbourne in each of their last three bouts. This game will go the same. The Green Wave can’t stop the better teams from scoring, and they can't score enough points to keep games competitive.

Mainland vs. DeLand: Mainland wins 45-17. Coming off an impressive kickoff classic win, Mainland will start stacking its win column this week against rival DeLand. Although the Bulldogs will compete for a quarter or two, Denzel Houston and company will prove to be too much.

Seabreeze vs. Spruce Creek: 31-3. The Sandcrabs have little fire power on offense and little defensive talent to keep it close with the Hawks. This should be an easy win for Spruce Creek, who won an impressive kickoff classic against Class 8A semifinalist Lake Brantley.
