Predicting Notable Week 8 DFW Matchups
::shoulder slump:: It was a 16-8 week last week, and the overall record stands at 115-48 (.701). To get to the 75 percent prediction record, I have to go 79-17, which is 82.3 percent correct a week or around 20-4. In other words, it probably isn't happening.
Below are the 21 other games of note that I'll try my best at predicting a winner for in addition to the deeper-dive games: Lewisville rolling past Irving; Martin just getting by Arlington in a 6A Top 10 matchup; Shelton beating Grace Prep at the Ford Center.

Frisco Reedy (4-3, 3-2) vs. Denton Braswell (4-2, 3-1)
Battle of two teams fighting for the fourth playoff spot, so I'm picking Reedy to win and jump back into the mix.
Predicting Notable Week 7 DFW Matchups
It was another 17-7 week - the second time in three weeks - with the overall record at 99-41 (.707). To get to the 75 percent prediction record, I have to go 95-23, which is a 80.5 percent clip over the last 118 games to pick.

#9 Frisco Independence (5-0, 2-0) vs. #1 Frisco Lone Star (5-0, 2-0)
Offense. Offense. Offense. Both teams average more than 54 points a game, hold teams to a combine 20 points a game and have each outscored opponents by more than 220 points. I feel sorry for the scoreboard operator at the Ford Center for this one. Lone Star's battled Highland Park this year and won - on the road. Independence's toughest opponent has been Frisco Memorial. Give me Lone Star.
