The that time of year is finally here for us to be excited about the football season and that includes fantasy football, pick’ems, tailgates and everything else in between.
Our FloridaHSFootball.com Pick’ems returns for a 3rd year in a row and we will have expanded the pool of our pickers by a few.
However, this year we are going to do things slightly different (not much different though).
We will be picking 10 games this year and one of those games will be the “Game of the Week.” Our game of the week is one that we feel stands out among the pack of nearly 200 plus games in the state each week. We will release picks either on Thursday evening or Friday morning’s each and every week. This will happen up until the state finals.
With that said I will introduce who our pickers will be for this season before revealing the “Game of the Week” and the games we will pick on for this week.
