Michael Grossi and Mike Carraggi of The Boston Globe pick this weekend's high school football games. Think your high school football knowledge is mightier than that of the Mikes? Feel free to agree, disagree, or pick your own games in our comments section.

Xaverian at Everett

Grossi - This brawl showcases two contrasting teams. Xaverian has an explosive offense and a punishing defense. Everett has some dangerous weapons on offense but has yet to find a groove. The real question in this game is which offensive line will protect the quarterback best and open holes for the running backs. I think Xaverian will have more success doing that and will win 27-17.

Carraggi – For an in-depth preview of this game, check out the Division 1 Dish on our high school sports blog. The Tide and the Hawks are both deep, complete teams, but Everett's rushing attack is based more on speed than Xaverian's, and with inclement weather on the forecast, that may be the difference. Xaverian will have little room for error, but Everett will have even less. The X-Men take this one.
 
North Attleboro at Franklin

Grossi – Franklin is riding high after knocking off Foxboro. The Panthers have a complete offensive attack with Nick Colson and Matt Carini. North Attleboro is a team predicated on speed and will have to use that speed to set edges on defense and bottle up the Panther running attack. However, I say Franklin pulls it out in the end with a 25-14 victory.

Carraggi – A Franklin win would mean the Hockomock League gets a little clearer. Which all but guarantees a North Attleboro victory.
 
Marshfield at Plymouth North

Grossi – Plymouth North comes into this game with a spotless record. However, the Eagles have yet to be tested this season. The Rams, on the other hand, played a brutal non-league schedule to prepare itself for ACL play. These two teams usually play each other close. Marshfield won three years ago and last year while the Eagles won two years ago. I think that the Eagles continue the back and forth nature of the rivalry by winning this one 17-13.

Carraggi – All signs point to this one being a grinder for both teams. Marshfield has put itself through a gauntlet thus far, and the toughness and perseverance garnered in the first five games will do the Rams a huge favor in this one.
 
Mashpee at Cohasset

Grossi – Another week, another undefeated opponent for Mashpee. The Falcons blanked Norwell 21-0 last week and now face Dana Valentine and 5-0 Cohasset. Like last week, I think Mashpee pulls out the win. The Falcon defense has been better than Cohasset's and their offense is nearly are potent.

Carraggi – The Skippers are going to feel right at home in the rainy conditions, steering the ship to a 6-0 start. Not that it matters, because Abington is going to successfully defend its South Shore League crown.
 
CM at Bishop Guertin

Grossi – After traveling out to Longmeadow last week, Catholic Memorial endures another long drive up to New Hampshire . This week, however, the long drive back won’t be a pleasant one. I think Guertin upends the Knights bid for a perfect season. Guertin has spanked all its opponents so far, outscoring teams by an average of 39 points per game.

Carraggi – Catholic Memorial's win over Longmeadow was impressive, but Bishop Guertin is truly among the best New Hampshire has to offer. If the Knights pull off the upset, they will come back to West Roxbury as a legitimate threat to Xaverian's Catholic Conference stranglehold. But I wouldn't count on that.
