Grine's Week One Picks

GAME	PICK	WHY
No. 1 Mayfield v No. 2 Rio Rancho	Mayfield	I like Rio this year. Just not on the road against No. 1 ranked team.
No. 3 Cleveland at No. 5 Onate	Cleveland	The bolts just reload.
No. 4 Eldorado v No. 6 Las Cruces	Las Cruces	Well, this one came down to a nickle on the dashboard. Like both teams.
No. 7 Artesia v No. 17 Carlsbad	Carlsbad	Carlsbad will be better on O this season and get the upset.
No. 8 Clovis at No. 10 Hobbs	Clovis	Clovis is my sleeper and have owned this game recently, they continue.
No. 32 Estancia v No. 35 Robertson	Robertson	I'm losing hair over picking these games (wait I have none). Robertson by the length of my hair.
No. 19 Los Lunas at No. 40 Aztec	Los Lunas	Los Lunas has the better weapons.
No. 18 Piedra Vista at No. 22 Farmington	Farmington	I had to have a flex pick for points and Farmington could be a special pick behind the wealth of returning players.
No. 36 St. Mikes v Santa Fe	St. Mikes	St. Mikes is still St. Mikes and Santa Fe well they are still Santa Fe.
No. 12 Volcano Vista v No. 30 Valley	Volcano	I really like the Hawks. They have the best WR core and a QB to get them the ball.
No. 20 Goddard at No. 27 Capital	Goddard	Easy to like Capitals direction but Goddard still a football power.
