High School Football Season Opens In Full This Week And Big Matchups Highlight The 7 Friday Night Team’s NorCal Football Picks •
Our Thursday prediction show hits top gear this week as high school football officially opens across all of Northern California. Everybody — hosts Chace Bryson and Ben Enos as well as Coach Terry Eidson — is feeling confident after hitting on most of their picks during last week’s Sac-Joaquin Section openers. Now the NorCal football picks come fast and furious.
Chace and Ben highlight six of the week’s top matchups and select three to pick (both settled on the same game as their “Lock”), plus each host chooses two random games to serve the other in the new “Challenge Round.” Finally, Coach Eidson gives his predictions for three games, and includes a relatively thorough analysis of NorCal’s game of the week: No. 3 Serra-San Mateo at No. 2 Folsom.
