It’s a week full of section semifinals, so finding good games to pick certainly wasn’t hard for the 7 Friday Night team. Co-host Ben Enos remains the king of NorCal football picks after expanding his lead to two games over SportStars editor Chace Bryson — who is taking his foundering rather well.

Ben and Chace both complete their three main picks (one lock) plus a Challenge Round of two games each. Also, Coach Terry Eidson looks to continue his long streak of 2-1 performances with his three picks. And last, but certainly not least, he provides an epic edition of “Dumb Football.”
