2021 Pick 'Em Contect - Week 1 (8/27)

Recommended Posts

I’m organizing a Pick’em Contest for the 2021 season.  My plan is to play for 11 weeks (Week of August 27 – Week of November 5).

 

Scoring:

Each week, there will be 10 games to pick.  You will pick the winners and assign a confidence rating for every game.  Your most confident pick is give the 10 point spot.  The next most confident pick is for 9 points and all the way down to your least confident pick for 1 point.  A perfect week will get you 55 points.  I will track points throughout the season by username.  For example:

10: Team A over Team B

9: Team F over Team E

8: Team D over Team C

 

etc.

 

Season Long Prizes:

For now, bragging rights.  Depending on how popular this endeavor ends up, I may throw a couple gift cards as prizes.

 

Picks:

Games will be posted by 5:00 PM on Monday.  I will do my best to incorporate some lesser known match-ups as well as try to cover the entire state.  Picks will be due by 7:00 PM on Friday.  Games that are cancelled/postponed will result in a shortened schedule for the week.

 

Week 1

Picks are due by 7:00 PM on Friday

Without further cancellations, the game may be even better in late October. Both teams should be at their best about that time of the season. It's just a bummer that any games have to be effected by the virus.

Sorry to hear that. Not surprised. Covid has a very strong presence in the state at this time. Hope it is behind us soon. 

Our game just canceled against St. Cloud, no reason given but suspect it was for same.  No one expected this to be a competitive game, but locals want it for legacy reasons (first game in 1925) as it has been played every year since 1945.  Most of the time a good ticket gate at each school.

Just glad it got rescheduled. And at that date the game should be even better

Me too. Venice is now scheduled to play Edgewater this Friday, instead of Gibbons according to Coach Peacock. I don’t know if Venice will find a replacement for week 2, or if they will continue the schedule with Cocoa as planned.

Unless BM has Covid issues, I would be surprised if the Edgewater game was cancelled. I see no reason for Edgewater to give up a backyard game to travel to Venice without the benefit of a KOC when they already have Venice on their schedule.

I would not make that move unless the BM game was cancelled.

These aren’t my words, nothing is official as of right now. Peacock said Edgewater is the opponent, unless they can find a suitable replacement. I’m hearing that Bartram Trail had their week 1 game canceled as well. I would love to see them play Venice again.

    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave.
