While Weakley County schools will enjoy Fall break this week with no football scheduled to play a game, there will still be football in West Tennessee.

So we will still have a pick’em column.

Last week, I was 3-0 with my picks involving Weakley County picks. So for the season, I am 23-6 (.793 winning percentage) in picking the county games.

Overall, I was 10-2 on the week with my two misses coming in Lake County’s win over South Fulton and Kossuth (Miss.)’s win over Adamsville.

I am now 84-28 (.750) on the season in my picks through eight weeks.

Here is hoping for a good week in Week 9 without Weakley County games to rely on:
