While we never pretend to be Joe Pinkos and we really miss Joe and his weekly picks, we’ll try to fill the void this season with a weekly pick column from every game scheduled for the Sunshine State.
Without further ado, here are predictions for every game scheduled around the Sunshine on FloridaHSFootball.com’s Week 1 slate.
Predictions are sorted by ranking of the favorite team. The underdog ranking is noted for inter-ranking matches.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or don’t see a game listed here, please email Joshua Wilson at [email protected] or DM us on Twitter at @FlaHSFootball
