While we never claim to be Joe Pinkos and we truly miss Joe and his weekly picks, we are going to try to fill the void this season with a weekly picks column of every single game scheduled to take place around the Sunshine State.
Without further ado, here are the predictions of all games scheduled to take place around the Sunshine on the Week 1 slate from FloridaHSFootball.com.
Predictions are listed by classification of the favored team. The underdog’s classification is noted for inter-classification games.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or do not see a game listed on here, please email Joshua Wilson at joshua.wilson@floridahsfootball.com or send us a DM on Twitter at @FlaHSFootball
