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.

Scituate at Duxbury

Grossi – Both teams enter the tilt for the Patriot (Keenan) Title on impressive winning streaks. Scituate has won six straight since losing to undefeated Cohasset in Week 3. Duxbury is riding a seven game win streak since losing the first two games of the season. I’ll take the Dragons to continue their streak and go on to face Marshfield in the playoffs.

Carraggi – Duxbury may not have the swag they had last year when one top Division 1 coach told me they were THE best team in the state. But they have enough to overtake a slightly overachieving Scituate squad.
 
Natick at Walpole

Grossi – Natick and Walpole have been on a collision course all season. Neither has been tested until now. Both teams hold opponents to a touchdown a game while both score over 30. The key to this game is which team can contain the other’s star players. Right now, Ryan Izzo is 2-0 in his career against the Red and Blue. This year, I think Scott McCummings and Natick get over the hump and beat the Rebels.

Carraggi – Move over Pats-Colts. This is truly the game of the year, and this one should be a all-out war. Walpole is not what it was last season, but Natick is even better than its 2008 counterparts. The Red and Blue will squeak one out.

Brockton at New Bedford

Grossi – For the first time in a while, a team in the Big Three can give the Boxers a true challenge for the title. The Whalers match up well with Brockton as both have tons of speed. However, I think Brockton is more battle tested and have too many weapons for New Bedford to overcome.

Carraggi – Sniff, sniff. Smell that? Smells like an upset brewing. Not only does New Bedford's offense have the talent to put up a quick score on Brockton and force the Boxers' offense to climb out of a hole (something they do not excel in), but the Whalers are so under the radar that they could sneak up on the Boxers and take what many in Brockton believe is a birthright, a Big Three championship.
 
East Boston at Madison Park

Grossi – Hopefully no skirmishes erupt in this one. I’ll take the Jets to fly past Madison Park. East Boston scores more than two touchdowns more than Madison Park and gives up nearly as little points.

Carraggi – Are the refs going to be wearing helmets as well in this one? East Boston takes it.
 
Northeast at Chelsea

Grossi – Chelsea has ran wild over its opponents all year. They will continue to do so this week and the Devils will stamp their ticket to the postseason with the victory. Chelsea has six different backs that are effective, meaning that there is always a fresh body. That doesn’t bode well for Northeast.

Carraggi – Chelsea is so very close to what looked unlikely at the beginning of the season. The Devils will not let the foot off the gas.
 
King Philip at Foxboro

Grossi – No matter what, this game will end in victory for the Warriors. This is a match between two contrasting offensive philosophies. Foxboro pounds the ball down its opponent’s throats while King Philip has a quick strike offense. I think King Philip rises to the occasion and sets up a Hockomock League title game against Franklin on Thanksgiving.

Carraggi – It's been a dizzying year in the Hockomock League this season. Who wins this is really anybody's guess, but a strong ground game is what teams succeed with at this time of the year, and Foxboro just so happens to excel in that area.
 
Lawrence Academy at BB&N

Grossi – This match-up between teams with some exceptional talent should be a barnburner. Both have talented skill players and stout defenses. I think Lawrence Academy avenges last season’s defeat and ends BB&N’s win streak.

Carraggi – Look back on last year's game between these two and you will see the box score littered with current Division 1 college players. No matter what the outcome, we are all going to be winners in this potential classic. BB&N wins its 18th in a row.
 
Billerica at Central Catholic

Grossi – The winner of this game goes to the playoffs and wins the MVC Large. Both teams are similar in that their quarterbacks are catalysts. Andrew Ouellette of Central is an athletic quarterback and has a skill set similar to Nick LaSpada, Billerica’s super sophomore. So far Billerica hasn’t lost when LaSpada plays and I look for that streak to continue this week.

Carraggi – Both teams have truly earned the right to play for the championship this weekend. The Merrimack Valley Conference is no cakewalk, but these two squads have risen to the top. Central's defense is one of the best Billerica quarterback Nick LaSpada has seen all year, but the sophomore signal-caller is arguably the best player around these days. Pencil in Billerica-Everett in the first round.
 
Taunton at Bridgewater-Raynham

Grossi – Taunton has a chance to win a league title for the first time in over 20 years with a win. Bridgewater-Raynham is coming off loss that it can’t be happy about. I think that the Trojans funnel that anger over the loss and take out their aggression on a tough Taunton squad.

Carraggi – The upsets keep on flowing. Taunton is vastly improved over last year's team, and if it wasn't for a muffed snap on a punt attempt against Brockton, Taunton may very well have been favored in this one. Bridgewater-Raynham falls just short.
 
Attleboro at Barnstable

Grossi – Barnstable picked up a major upset victory last week and with a win this weekend, can mar the OCL race even more. Attleboro has been a bit of a disappointment this year. I think Barnstable continues its Cinderella run and beats the Bombardiers behind a balanced offensive attack.

Carraggi – Barnstable has been a pretty nice story this year in the competitive Old Colony League (by the way, has anyone heard from Dartmouth this season?) But Attleboro is tough, can score, and has one of the division's top backs and linebackers in Matty Campbell. Bombardiers away.

Grossi - 11-4 (4-1 last week)
Carraggi - 8-7 (1-4 last week)
