Week 3 Final Line:

Eastwood (-20) @ Wauseon
Wauseon has struggled to keep either of their games within 20 points. Eastwood looks like they should be better than both Fairview and Bellevue.

Woodward (+6) @ Fostoria
Through two games Fostoria has given up 87 points and scored 6. Woodward has given up 76 and scored 8. I'm going with the team with the more potent offense and more stifling defense.

Huron (-9) @ Genoa
Huron seems to have a solid offense thus far in the season and they've only given up one score. I think this will be similar to the Archbold game for Genoa. Genoa plays physical and keeps it close but Huron pulls away late.

Lake (+3.5) @ Delta
I guess this is my upset special. This will be the toughest test for Lake thus far. I was originally expecting them to come out of the gates at 0-3, but maybe they're getting some momentum going.

Bowsher (+37) @ Maumee
I think Karchner takes awhile to call off the dogs.

Oak Harbor (-13.5) @ Port Clinton
This is a tough one to pick. I love that both teams come into this rivalry game at 2-0, but neither has been tested yet. I think this one will be right at the spread with Oak Harbor making all their extra points.

Liberty Center (-24.5) @ Otsego
A 24.5 spread is a lot for two teams who are very well coached and running wing-t style offenses. The clock won't stop much in this one and that would suggest LC utterly dominates Otsego in all phases of the game with Otsego completely imploding. I think Otsego has the best coaching staff in the NBC from top to bottom. I don't see that kind of thing happening.

Rossford (+9.5) @ Evergreen
I hope that Rossford enjoyed that week 1 victory because there is a lot of football between then and week 10 when they face off with Fostoria. I think Rossford is on par with Elmwood right now and the score will reflect that. Have they rolled out the basketballs over there yet?
 
Week 3 Final Line:

Eastwood (-20) @ Wauseon- backup qb for eastwood is as good as the starter....??
Woodward (+6) @ Fostoria- two struggling teams....long busride from Toledo to Fostoria is the difference
Huron (-9) @ Genoa- close one.....
Lake (+3.5) @ Delta- If lake can force Delta to have to throw by taking a lead early or stacking the box....
Bowsher (+37) @ Maumee- 3-0 for the first time since...when?
Oak Harbor (-13.5) @ Port Clinton- OH has been holding back vs. very inferior opponents....not any more...
Liberty Center (-24.5) @ Otsego- LC wins comfortably, but not that much at Otsego....
Rossford (+9.5) @ Evergreen- Rossford should be better....

Eastwood (-20) @ Wauseon - Eastwood will go on the road and get a good fight from Wauseon but will cover the spread barely. Eagles by 21.
Woodward (+6) @ Fostoria - Can we just call this game a pick-em? I'll take Fostoria to win by 7+
Huron (-9) @ Genoa - I think Huron's defense gives Genoa issues and Huron wins by 13.
Lake (+3.5) @ Delta - A good game for both teams. Delta wins by 7.
Bowsher (+37) @ Maumee - Maumee covers the spread and wins by 41.
Oak Harbor (-13.5) @ Port Clinton - Game on the road for the Rockets, PC hungry for a win, Redskins get let down. Rockets cover.
Liberty Center (-24.5) @ Otsego - Can the Knights hold on long enough to keep the game interesting? Liberty Center should win by 28 covering spread.
Rossford (+9.5) @ Evergreen - I'll take Rossford

Looked it up, it’ll be the first time since their league championship team that went 9-1 (9-2) in 2009. To be fair the Panthers non-conference schedule included Columbus St Francis Desales in 2010, Massillon in 2011 & 2012 (Boles last year as HC) and Eastwood’s state finalist team in 2017 to prevent any of those teams from also getting to 3-0. Those teams finished 7-3 (8-4), 7-3, 6-4 and 6-4.

Eastwood (-20) @ Wauseon - I’ll take the Eagles to cover but i think it’ll be close. Haven’t seen Wauseon but Eastwood has some good athletes that should be enough. Eastwood 35-10
Woodward (+6) @ Fostoria - I’ll take the points in what could be a tight one. Fostoria 22-20
Huron (-9) @ Genoa - I haven’t been very impressed with what I’ve seen from Genoa, don’t seem to have an identity on offense. Huron 28-14
Lake (+3.5) @ Delta - Delta snuck by Fairview last week and I think Lake will have similar success on offense but may be a bit tougher to score on. Should be a good one. Lake 28-21
Bowsher (+37) @ Maumee - Bowsher is much better than a year ago in certain aspects, have some good athletes and decent size but still too sloppy to make this competitive. Maumee 49-8
Oak Harbor (-13.5) @ Port Clinton - I think PC is better than expected this year and Oak Harbor still hasn’t been tested. Give me the Rockets but I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s a good one. Oak Harbor 28-17
Liberty Center (-24.5) @ Otsego - There common opponent Tinora had no answer for LC’s offense but held Otsego to 14. I think LC is too tough to stop to keep it close and low scoring. Liberty Center 35-7
Rossford (+9.5) @ Evergreen - I’m taking the Vikings because Rossfords offense has really struggled. Evergreen 28-14

Eastwood @ Lake (+13.5)
Genoa @ Fostoria (+37.5)
Oak Harbor @ Maumee (pick 'em)
Otsego @ Rossford (+27.5)

What about adding a game of the week from the NLL, NWOAL, and SBC/TAAC/BVC?

Might need some help picking games out but sounds good to me. I think 4 extras (One NLL, One NWOAL, two from SBC/TAAC/BVC) to keep 8 a week, but let's do 2 this week. Suggestions for games over the weekend would definitely be appreciated.

Findlay @ Clay
Wauseon @ Swanton

We just need to change the name of the thread to "Mostly Northern Buckeye Conference Spread Pick 'em" ;)
 
Eastwood @ Lake +16
Genoa @ Fostoria. +35
Oak Harbor @ Maumee. +7.5
Otsego @ Rossford. +21

Hot take: Maumee covers and wins

You can always flip that plus to minus if that's what you think.

Eastwood @ Lake (+16.5)
Genoa @ Fostoria (+35)
Oak Harbor @ Maumee (+8.5)
Otsego @ Rossford (+28)
 
Eastwood @ Lake (+16.5)
I really think Lake is taking stride forward, but after their showing last week, they're not quite out of the pretender category for me. Eastwood wins by 3+ TD's.

Genoa @ Fostoria (+35)
Ugh, I hate these high spread games. It's really all dependent on when a coach pulls the starters and gets out of there with a win. I think Genoa will get a running clock, but will it be over 35... sure.

Oak Harbor @ Maumee (+8.5)
Maumee falls back to earth and loses by two touchdowns. This is easily the game of the week in the league and tells us a lot about both teams.

Otsego @ Rossford (+28)
The Knights get it done in a get right game and put Rossford on the running clock.
*EDIT* I heard some news that made me change my decision on the running clock. I think Otsego handles Rossford, but won't pull away until late.

For those 2 extras I’d say
Findlay -7
Wauseon -10
Other option would be
Napoleon @ Anthony Wayne -10
SFS @ Clyde -7
 
Final Line: bonus games start next week and will only count towards standings if picked

Eastwood @ Lake (+16.5)
Genoa @ Fostoria (+31)
Oak Harbor @ Maumee (+7)
Otsego @ Rossford (+24.5)
 
Eastwood @ Lake (+16.5)
Genoa @ Fostoria (+31)
Oak Harbor @ Maumee (+7)
Otsego @ Rossford (+24.5)

Maumee covers and wins. Lake has a shot to win if they can stay in the game through the first half. Eastwood has been able to sleep walk through last 2 weeks.

You made the spread for every game to be closer and then picked the favorite with a larger spread, I do not understand how you make your spreads?

Creating the spread and picking against a spread are two different things. It worked out alright for me last year 🤷‍♂️
