Picks for the Week
These are the Swami Simpson’s picks for the week in sports. It will be a mix of pro, college, high school and yes junior high sports that I will be watching. Here are the picks.
JUNIOR HIGH
ACA vs. St. James
The Eagles get a chance for revenge. In the earlier loss, the girls held a late lead, but could not finish off the Trojans. With new coach Jamey Simpson, ACA is on the right path…
The pick: ACA in 3 games
ACA vs. MA
That is Montgomery Academy, not Madison. Last week the Eagles allowed an 18-6 lead to go to waste in their 23-25 loss. Not this time.
The pick: ACA in 2 games
County Volleyball tournament
With unbeaten Trinity the current favorite, many are not giving ACA a chance. I feel the girls are peaking at the right time and based on their tough 3 game set with Trinity last week…
ACA wins tournament
Giving Coach Jamey Simpson her 3rd county title in 3 years
HIGH SCHOOL
Madison Academy vs. Elkmont
The Mustangs were upended last week by upstart New Hope. Although Carter Hamric went 2-3 late in the game the Mustangs were too far down to come back. This week they face a much-improved Elkmont team for their homecoming. The game will be closer than expected but the Mustang D is too much for the Devils.
The pick: MA 14 – Elkmont 10
ACA vs. Catholic
The Eagles had their chances last week against the 3-1 Ashford team. One play would have brought home that first win. This week they face a Catholic team with 20 returning Seniors that is looking to avenge several years of frustration against ACA. The Eagles have looked good the past few weeks and hopefully the improvement will turn to a win.
The pick: ACA ? – Catholic ?
COLLEGE
Auburn vs. South Carolina
I like what Stevie has been doing to the Gamecocks. That said, Auburn will win going away…
Auburn 35 – USC 17
Tennessee vs. Memphis
Memphis always plays tough. No wait they’re awful…
TN 34 – Memphis 14
Florida vs. Alabama
It scares me that the Tide will be fired up to play. But UF should too, just remember the thrashing of last year…
UF 35 – Alabama 20
Notre Dame vs. Purdue
I am a true Notre Dame hater. This pick is more hope than what I really think will happen…
Purdue 35 – Notre Dame 34
Georgia Tech vs. Virginia Tech
A close game should be expected. I am not impressed with Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech’s only loss was a close one to Notre Dame…
GT 24 – VT 17
Ohio State vs. Iowa
This is the last chance until Michigan for OSU to lose. They won’t…
OSU 28 – Iowa 20
PRO FOOTBALL
Miami vs. Houston
I am not impressed with the Dolphins at all. Good for us the Titans are worse. The game will be close, but…
Miami 17 – Houston 13
Kansas City vs. San Francisco
KC is due a win for Jon…
KC 28 – SF 24
San Diego vs. Baltimore
This is the game of the week. San Diego is the real deal, while I think Baltimore has won some games against weaker opponents…
SD 28 – Baltimore 21
New England vs. Cincinnati
The Patriots need a win in a bad way. Fortunately, for me and other Dolphin fans they won’t get it this week…
Cin 31 – NE 21
Seattle vs. Chicago
Another match-up that should be fun to watch. Seattle has a great offense, but I think Chicago will hold them in check for much of the game. And as a defensive coordinator I believe that D wins championships…
CHI 17 – Seattle 14
Well there you go sports fans. Tell me what you think.

Agree with all the picks except for Chi @ Seattle. Two great defenses but Grossman just doesn't have the 'it' factor to get it done against a proven D. KC put it together against Den but had a stupid play on part of an inexperienced QB, wait they teach you to knock a batted pass back down in JH, I stand corrected a bone-head play of the QB cost them the game. How about the Col Geo game? thought for a second I was going to get to gloat on the 'almighty SEC' getting a beat down from a scrub Big XII team.
you really really really have to stop with the lists. really.
1. because you seem to keep coming up with them
2. because you're not David Letterman
3. did I mention its freaking me out??
Um, you left off Georgia v. Mississippi...other than that, I have no input.
Georgia will kill Ole Miss. Which is why it is not on the list.
List of how I am like Letterman.
1) Gap in teeth
2) Receding Hair line
3) Funny top ten lists
Thanks for the vball support and picks; we'll see. Practice wasn't great this morning. I don't think they're ready for St. James in their house.
My pick for varsity football this week is a win...you're so past due!
p.s. It is amazing that you do keep pulling lists out of your head.
Jamey, are you sure they're coming out of his head? :)
Kenny, thanks for thinking Bama will put up 20 this week...and I'm curious how Seattle deals with the loss of Alexander. The Madden curse strikes again.
Well Baron, I almost said somewhere else...
Now that Alexander is out I am more confident in my Chicago pick.
ACA volleyball is going to start a run at the time it counts.
1-1. Jamey's girls win the first in 3 games.
