Prep-dog's picks ... Week 3
The dog hasn't been feeling too feisty lately. But after a trip to the vet and an I.V. of coffee, he's back with a new batch of prep football picks. Continued success for the canine, or has he had too much cold medicine this week?

Hey, Dog, lay off the freakin' cold medicine will ya? You know that crap is 25 percent alcohol, don't you??!! You sucked this week! You had a lousy 13-8 night of forecasts. You missed ACA vs. Midway Baptist by a bundle. And you should have known Redlands couldn't go up to Clovis east and push those Central Valley boys around. As for Kaiser ... they're Yesterday's Team! Better luck next week.
