Thursday
- Oologah at Collinsville - Collinsville running back Ryan Haymaker scored five touchdowns against Oologah last season. Don't expect that to happen again. The pick: Cville 21, Oologah 17.
- Norman at Norman North - Norman North has John Kolar. Good enough for me. The pick: North 27, Norman 20.
- Locust Grove at Salina - Pirate ship strongly afloat in 2014. The pick: Locust Grove 44, Salina 13.
Friday
- Owasso at Broken Arrow - David Alexander wins his debut as the Tigers' head coach. The pick: BA 28, Owasso 17.
- Bixby at Jenks - Two title contenders, just two different classes. The pick: Jenks 40, Bixby 10.
- Union vs. Southlake Carroll (Texas) in Arlington - Not going to pretend to know anything about Carroll. The pick: Union 20, SLC 19.
- East Central at Bartlesville - Trevon Cherry is solid at quarterback for the Cardinals, but he needs help. The pick: Bartlesville 24, East Central 16.
- Claremore at Pryor - One of the better matchups in Week 1. The pick: Pryor 20, Claremore 17.
- Hale at Sand Springs - Hale looked rough in the All-City Preview. The pick: Sandites 56, Hale 6.
- Muskogee at McAlester - Rafe Watkins may very well bring Muskogee back to prominence. But not this week. The pick: McAlester 38, Muskogee 17.
- Booker T. Washington at Midwest City - Stop me if you've heard this before: state championship preview? The pick: Hornets 23, Midwest City 20.
- Edison at Bishop Kelley - BK coach JJ Tappana called it the "Midtown Mash." I like it. The pick: Edison 27, BK 24.
- Coweta at Wagoner - Somehow this showdown gets overlooked every year. The pick: Coweta 23, Wagoner 17.
- Tahlequah at Fort Gibson - Most of Tahlequah's offensive weapons are gone. FTG still has J.R. Singleton. The pick: Fort Gibson 35, Tahlequah 20.
- Shawnee at Bishop McGuinness - Start of Shawnee's title run? The pick: Wolves 33, Irish 21.
- Central at Memorial - Chargers quietly a solid program in the Tulsa area. The pick: Memorial 32, Central 13.
- Glenpool at Berryhill - Just seems like a close game. The pick: Berryhill 20, Glenpool 17.
- Holland Hall at Cascia Hall - A private school will win in this one. The pick: Cascia 35, Dutch 20.
- Sallisaw at Catoosa - Craig Benson left Sallisaw, and Cale Wilson and Jadon Davenport are gone, too. Black Diamonds need polishing. The pick: Catoosa 31, Sallisaw 13.
- Bristow at Cushing: Gage Stallworth was good and went mostly unnoticed. The pick: Cushing 21, Bristow 16.
- NOAH at Metro Christan: Tough to know what NOAH has each year. Whatever it is, it's likely not up to Metro's standard. The pick: Patriots 34, NOAH 12.
- Kellyville at Kiefer - When I worked in Sapulpa, this would have been 11- vs. 8-man game. And Kiefer still might have won. The pick: Kiefer 32, Ponies 10.
- Keys at Checotah - Could be a rough go in Tuffy Thornton's return to Cherokee County. The pick: Checotah 41, Keys 9.
- Tahlequah Sequoyah at Okemah - Justin Hooper, Sequoyah's running back, get familiar with the name. (Also, Sequoyah would like to have this basketball game from the state tournament as a do-over.) The pick: Sequoyah 27, Okemah 22.
Saturday
- Victory Christian vs. Jones (at Choctaw) - Have a cup of coffee with the Conquerors. The pick: Victory Christian 29, Jones 24.
- Davis vs. Vian (at Choctaw) - Davis was good last year. No, really, really good. But 15-0 is hard to replicate. The pick: Davis 34, Vian 22.
