Friday night pick'em: Week 8

A couple of teams are playing for their postseason lives tonight. Georgetown and Loris will not make the playoffs if they lose Friday night. The losses don't automatically eliminate them, but their postseason fate would require some hard to believe scenarios. Loris is basically in a win and your in or a lose and your out situation. Georgetown could win and it still could miss the playoffs. I think the tiebreaker would be defensive points allowed against the two teams you are tied with, which would be Socastee and North Myrtle Beach. With only Friday's game between Georgetown and Socastee left in that scenario the points allowed stand at Socastee 10, Georgetown 28 and North Myrtle Beach 38. Remember in these scenarios that once the three-way tie is broken, the tibereaker between the two teams left reverts to head-to-head.

Here are my picks this week. My lone loss last week was South Columbus. 

Below are my picks this week (last week 10-1, overall 59-20):
Socastee 35, Georgetown 14
South Florence 38, Carolina Forest 21
Hartsville 28, Conway 14
Lake City 50, North Myrtle Beach 21
Myrtle Beach 58, St. James 7
Andrews 27, Kingstree 20
Timberland 55, Waccamaw 35
Cheraw 49, Aynor 14
Loris 35, Mullins 21
Green Sea Floyds 30, Creek Bridge 28
West Brunswick 21, Whiteville 20
South Columbus 35, North Brunswick 20
