(2-0) St. Marys at Wapak (1-1)
(0-2) O-G at Elida (2-0)
(1-1) Bath at Kenton (0-2)
(0-2) Celina at Shawnee (2-0)
(2-0) Van Wert at Defiance (1-1)

Game of the week appears to be St. Marys at Wapak. I see 2 blowouts, and the Bath/Kenton game will determine a dividing line I think. If Kenton can at least look good, even with a loss it can avoid being placed into the bottom of the barrel with Celina and Defiance. Bath probably isn’t going to be a contender but I think it’s safe to say it’s not in the bottom level either. I think the four teams in the first two games listed above are all contenders, or at least capable of beating one of the top 3 teams.

Last week 18 people made picks, a large number of 7 didn’t, from week 1. There was one new picker too. 7 perfect records, and four people went 3-2, leaving 7 records of 4-1. There were 2 unanimous picks (St. Marys and Van Wert), not surprisingly against what appears to be by far the two worst teams in the league.
The consensus went 4-0-1, with Wapak/O-G being a rare tie.
St. Marys over Defiance 18-0 (win)
Van Wert over Celina 18-0 (win)
Shawnee over Bath 16-2 (win)
Elida 13-5 over Kenton (win)
Wapak & O-G tie at 8-8

Last week’s leader Shoeless Joe missed two games, to drop a game behind the new tri-leaders, who all went perfect this week. 3 other people that were 1 game back last week remained 1 game back this week. Of the 7 5-5 records last week, 2 went perfect to raise their record, and 4 didn’t even pick games this week. I'm going to start something new this week and mark the perfect records with a beautiful royal blue color.

(2-0) St. Marys at Wapak (1-1) - huge win against OG last week. I think this team will improve week by week
(0-2) O-G at Elida (2-0) - I can’t see OG going to 0-3, no matter how good Elida is (1-1) Bath at Kenton (0-2) - better than Kenton,all that needs to be said
(0-2) Celina at Shawnee (2-0) - Shawnee is a real solid team this year
(2-0) Van Wert at Defiance (1-1) - unfortunately I think the week 1 win against Napoleon will be Defiance’s only win this season

(2-0) St. Marys at Wapak (1-1)-Game of week...Wapak by a FG
(0-2) O-G at Elida (2-0)-I think it will be a close game...OG starting 0-3, just don't see it happening.
(1-1) Bath at Kenton (0-2)-Bath is better than Kenton
(0-2) Celina at Shawnee (2-0)-Shawnee a lot better than Celina
(2-0) Van Wert at Defiance (1-1)-Van Wert has too much fire power for the Bulldogs...running clock 2nd half.

(2-0) St. Marys at Wapak (1-1) - Should be a great game.
(0-2) O-G at Elida (2-0) - Come on OG, your making me look bad to keep picking you. ;)
(1-1) Bath at Kenton (0-2) - Bath's D-line should keep Kenton in check.
(0-2) Celina at Shawnee (2-0) - Too much vs too little again.
(2-0) Van Wert at Defiance (1-1) - I am curious to see if we play faster on turf.

SM - I predict the Riders to grind it out at the end.
Elida - this feels like a game where whoever I pick will lose. So, sorry Elida.
Bath - yeah, I'll stick with Bath.
Shawnee big.
Van Wert - running clock in the first half. And yes, I know the rules.
 
Haven't had the time or energy to even think about football this year, so I better do this while I have the chance.

St. Marys - Should be a good game.
OG - Probably don't deserve to be picked, but just a hunch
Bath - Their D appears solid. Kenton has issues.
Shawnee - Just better than Celina
Van Wert - Just better than Defiance
