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.
