The Final Horne: Lots of good games to pick from this week

By James D. Horne | October 5, 2012 |

Sarge and I continue to pick games on From the Sideline on Thursdays and Fridays, I just have gotten the chance to jot them down here.

But the picking season has been good for both of us.

I’m a solid 141-65 on the season, or been right 68.4 percent of the time, and Sarge is just behind at 137-69 and is at 66.5 percent.

In college some of the big games are: LSU at Florida, Louisiana-Monroe at Middle Tennessee, Georgia at South Carolina, Miami at Notre Dame, West Virginia at Texas, Nebraska at Ohio State and Washington at Oregon.

In high school, three of the best games will be, Clarksville at Henry County, No. 7 (1A) Clarksville Academy at No. 5 (2A) Houston County and No. 10 (4A) Northeast at Dickson County.

In the NFL, two big games are the Broncos at Patriots and the Eagles at the Steelers.

How Sarge and I did last week are below and so are my picks, which are in bold. N-Joy.
