Tribskin Pick’em, your predictions and ours: Not many sure things in the first round of the playoffs

Aram and I will go head-to-head in Tribskin Pick’em throughout the season for our annual dinner bet.


Last Week: Robledo (10-8); Tolegian (14-4).
This Week: Robledo (150-68); Tolegian (151-67).

Last Week: If week 10 was for league titles and playoff spots, I choked with a three-touchdown lead in the fourth quarter. Despite a three-game lead, Aram’s now in front after going 14-4 to my 10-8, giving the Big Fella a one-game lead heading into the playoffs. There were too many games to point out where Aram got me, but he called it taking Notre Dame over Amat, Rosemead over Mountain View, Arroyo over Gabrielino and Wilson over Nogales — all games I took the opposite.

This week: There are a lot of toss-ups in the first round starting with the heavyweights, Bishop Amat at Long Beach Poly and Charter Oak hosting Chaparral. This isn’t the time to pick against the area, not when Amat and Charter Oak are 10-point favorite’s on Calpreps. They’re both tough games, but that’s what you expect from start to finish in the Inland and Pac-5. I’ve got the Hacienda going 1-3 in the first round with Bonita the only winner over Santa Fe. I don’t like West Covina’s chances against Paramount, the Bulldogs have simply not been the Bulldogs, despite their showing in Week 10. I like San Dimas and Covina to advance, but not taking Arroyo. In a couple of WSGV games I added, I like Muir over California and La Salle over Compton Centennial
