The Eastern Maine Sports football experts went 5-5 as a group with the week three picks. Chris Lessner got all 10 picks correct for the second straight week. Andrew Badillo and Bob Beatham each went 8-2.
Lessner has the overall lead at 35-5. Lessner has a four game lead over Badillo and Frank Johnson.
For the third straight week the crew doesn’t have an unanimous selection. MDI and Waterville is expected to be the most competitive game of the week. Class A Bangor will visit class B Skowhegan and the crew expects the class B team to come away with the win. Two of the top class C teams in the state will meet in Pittsfield when MCI plays host to Wells. Class D contender Bucksport will travel to class C Hermon. The class A clash battle between Bonny Eagle and Thornton is the highlight game in the state this weekend and maybe this season.
Listed below are the 10 games we are picking this week with the consensus pick included. Below that is who each of the experts pick in each game. Click here to listen to the Eastern Maine Sports high school football preview.
