Thanks for posting the lines. I'll take my shot at calling these games:

Agree with the nice words about Annandale, but also agree with the assessment of their chances against SC. I look for SC to win by 28. SC wins and covers

I'd have to think that West Springfield's loss to Woodson shook them out of any complacency they were feeling. I look for WS to win by seven. WS wins and covers.

It's hard to beat a team twice in the same season, but I think Robo will do that. But not comfortably. Robo wins, but doesn't cover.

Madison may not get respect due to being a Liberty/Conference 6 team, but they are the real deal. I think Madison wins by two TDs. Madison wins and covers.

I really admire what the WL coaching staff did to get the most out of the talent they had, finishing 4-1 down the stretch and playing Madison tough in their only loss. While taking nothing away from their personnel adjustments that lead to their success, two of those wins were against Langley and Fairfax, so I'm sure that WL grabbed two of those wins simply by outcoaching their opponents. However, I think the fairy tale season ends on Friday. I look for Westfield to win by 28. Westfield wins and covers.

South Lakes had a good season this year. I don't entirely agree that they are weak merely because they are a Liberty Team. Because I'm getting points, I'll take South lakes in this one. I really don't know who will win, though.

This is anyone's guess, but I'll take Battlefield to win and cover.

The fairy tale is over for Woodson, as well. I look for Braddock to stomp them. LB wins and covers.
