Pag Meter Predictions for Week 3
Thursday Night Football
Madera (3-0) vs Hoover (0-3)
line Madera -12
This is Hoover’s 3rd straight CMAC game and playing the toughest schedule of anybody in the NYL. Already has played Bullard and Sanger.
Pag Meter says the Patriots will compete but won’t have enough against Madera
Pag Meter prediction Madera 39 Hoover 27
Final MADERA 30 HOOVER 27
Evan Rios nails the game winning field goal. Evan is one of the top kickers in the state!
Clovis East (2-2) at Sunnyside (2-1)
line Sunnyside -7
This is a great matchup of two teams that can score. Last week Sunnyside finally played wildcats football and crushed Mt Whitney. Clovis East lost and I don’t know how that happened especially after Sanger handed it to them with 4 fumbles.
The Pag Meter says that Sunnyside’s defense is better than Clovis East defense. This will be a shoot out
Pag Meter prediction Sunnyside 36 Clovis East 29
Final SUNNYSIDE 61 CLOVIS EAST 42
Tulare Western (2-1) vs Hanford West (1-3)
line Tulare Western -7
The Mustangs are coming on and the Huskies are still searching at what kind of team they are.
Pag Meter says that I’m taking the team coming on
Pag Meter prediction Tulare Western 30 Hanford West 23
Final TULARE WESTERN 28 HANFORD WEST 21
Tulare Western recorded TW defense was spot on again with 6 sacks, and limited the Huskies to just 34 yards rushing on 25 attempts.
Davis Alcantar scored on a 64 yard TD run and also ran back an 89 yard kickoff for a TD
California City (2-2) at Gabrielino (1-3)
line Gabrielino -2
The Pag Meter says that the home team has the big advantage
Pag Meter prediction Gabrielino 27 Cal City 25
Final CAL CITY 20 GABRIELINO 18
Friday Night Lights
Lindsay (0-3) at Avenal (2-0)
Line Avenal -7
line Avenal -7 The Cardinals have played a monster schedule and it continues in Avenal
Pag Meter says that the Buccaneers are a very good team and great at home but watch out because Lindsay has played a million times tougher schedule.
Pag Meter prediction Avenal 24 Lindsay 17
Final LINDSAY 7 AVENAL 6
Sanger (3-1) at Lemoore (2-2)
line Sanger -2
The division 2 showdown! Sanger comes in and didn’t play a good 1st half against Clovis East with 4 fumbles but picked it up in the 2nd half. Lemoore didn’t show up in the crushing loss to Buchanan.
The Pag Meter says that the Tigers still have some injuries and I can’t see the Apaches fumbling 4 times like last week. If the Tigers gets their speed back on the field they will win.
Pag Meter prediction Sanger 34 Lemoore 32
Final LEMOORE 21 SANGER 19
Liberty (1-2) at Buchanan (2-2)
line Liberty -3
The division 1 showdown! The Patriots need a win sooooo bad and Buchanan can show the valley if they are a big time contender. The Bears beat up Edison who were clearly not ready to play to play. They got beat up by Bullard and almost won. The Patriots will have QB Jordan Love back and that is huge.
The Pag Meter says that Liberty is the better team if you combine both sides of the ball. The Bears defense really stands out. Buchanan’s game plan will be run the ball straight ahead but if they have to throw the ball...the Bears are in deep trouble. Jordan Love will be the big difference in this game,
Pag Meter prediction Liberty 21 Buchanan 17
Final LIBERTY 27 BUCHANAN 6
Tulare Union (3-1) at Kingsburg (1-2)
line Tulare Union -23
The Redskins offense is rolling especially last week in the win over Redwood. Now the Redskins defense better improve if they want to win it all in division 2. The Vikings can score as well and the Vikings defense is also struggling so this could be a shoot out.
Pag Meter says that Romello Harris might just have 300 yards rushing
Pag Meter prediction Tulare Union 44 Kingsburg 21
Final TULARE UNION 45 KINGSBURG 19
Bullard (3-1) at Central (0-3) 7:30pm
line Bullard -22
This game was moved to Central because the Fresno Grizzlies are playing in the PCL championship. Another home game that Bullard is losing. The Central Grizzlies always plays the Knights tough. If QB Nick Szpor is on and his WR's can catch the ball, the Grizzlies will hang in especially when the Knights are beat up from the hard hitting game against Grant.
The Pag Meter says that the Pag Meter power ranking tells us that Bullard is the best team in the valley because of the Knights outstanding defense. The Grizzlies young offense has to play a great game to stay in this one.
Pag Meter prediction Bullard 42 Central 20
Final BULLARD 21 CENTRAL 17
Dinuba (3-1) vs El Diamante (2-2)
line Dinuba -3
This is a great match up of 2 teams that will be there at the end. Dinuba struggled on offense in the loss to Hanford and El Diamante is playing their best football in 3 years.
Pag Meter says that Dinuba needs a big game for 48 minutes to beat the Miners. After seeing the Emperor's play in the scrimmage, I say they get the win
Pag Meter predictions Dinuba 26 El Diamante 23
Final DINUBA 27 EL DIAMANTE 7
El Capitan (1-3)vs Fresno High (3-0)
Early line Fresno High -19
The newest team in Merced takes on one of the oldest teams in the valley.
The Pag Meter says that the Warriors speed will be the difference.
Pag Meter Fresno High 35 El Capitan 17
Final FRESNO HIGH 37 EL CAPITAN 20
Sierra (0-3) at Caruthers (1-2)
line Caruthers -6
The Pag Meter says that both teams are young and struggling so this will be a fun game to watch
Pag Meter prediction Caruthers 32 Sierra 27
Final CARUTHERS 35 SIERRA 28
Centennial (3-1) vs Redwood (0-4)
line Centennial -21
The Rangers are playing a tough schedule and can put points up but are struggling on defense. The Golden Hawks are tough on both sides of the ball.
Pag Meter says that the G Hawks defense will make the Rangers 0-4.
Pag Meter prediction Centennial 42 Redwood 21
Final CENTENNIAL 47 REDWOOD 21
Central Valley Christian (3-1) at Chowchilla (3-1)
line CVC -7
This is the division 4 showdown. CVC could be better this year than last year because they can run and pass. Last year it was all about the CVC power run game and when they ran into a good defense, they were in trouble. The Redskins were humbled last week in the loss to Immanuel. Before the Immanuel game, Chowchilla was drinking the water but found out they have plenty of work to do if they want to compete for the division 4 section championship. The Redskins have way more speed and if they play like they can, the Redskins can win this game!
Pag Meter says that Chowchilla needs a good 1st half.
Pag Meter prediction CVC 28 Chowchilla 21
Final CHOWCHILLA 27 CVC 6
Stockdale (1-2) at Clovis (4-0) 7:30pm
line Clovis -22
The Cougars schedule continues to be perfect for a tremendous record. The Cougars offense is a finesse passing game that is rolling. The Cougars defense is starting to play Cougars defense. It was a matter of time.
The Pag Meter says if Clovis is the true No 1 team then this should be a blow out. The Mustangs could hang around because the Cougars defense is not good right now.
Pag Meter prediction Clovis 35 Stockdale 13
Final CLOVIS 49 STOCKDALE 42
Clovis North (1-2) vs Edison (1-3)
line Clovis North -4
Another big division 1 showdown. Both teams need a win. The Broncos have played a tough non league schedule and will have a an extra week to prepare for the defending valley champions. Edison is a confused team. Edison should be a pressure in your face defense and they are not. They beat Bakersfield because of the pressure defense and then went away from. I wish I knew the reason?? The Tigers are 1-2 because the defense is getting beat up and the offense is making a ton of mistakes. If it continues then 2015 will be a disaster.
The Pag Meter says that it’s no secret that the Broncos are going to run right at the Tigers defense because Buchanan and Merced did and it was successful. The big question will be, will the Tigers defense play Tigers defense with heavy pressure or sit back on their heels? The Broncos offense is better than the Tigers offense at this time. The Tigers have to play Tigers football to have any chance to win against a very discipline Broncos team
Pag Meter prediction Clovis North 24 Edison 20
Final CLOVIS NORTH 17 EDISON 10
Shafter (2-2) at Corcoran (0-2)

Final SHAFTER 24 CORCORAN 7
East Bakersfield (1-1) at Highland (1-2) 7:30pm

The Blades are coming on and they like the taste of winning. Highland will play hard for 48 minutes and are at home.
Pag Meter prediction Highland 28 East 24
Final HIGHLAND 55 EAST 7
Golden Valley (2-2) at Frontier (2-1)

Exeter (3-1) vs Madera South (2-1)
