2019 Alabama High School Playoff Predictions

2019 Alabama High School Playoff Predictions

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, not the fall holidays of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas – but the AHSAA football playoffs are set to get started this weekend with 208 teams left in action as we whittle it down to just seven state champions at the end of the next five weeks.

All seven classifications start this week and will roll on through the first week of December where the Super 7 will take place down in Auburn.

Below are my predictions on how things will turn out after watching 11 weeks of the regular season for all classifications. The games will be listed like this:

Road team at Home team (Spread) – My pick straight up (not ATS)

The spreads I have listed come from a specific formula using the Freeman Ratings and aren’t my actual predictions, I will simply pick a winner. For the most part the home team will be favored, but if the road team is favored, then the spread will be a + number.

Also, each classification is listed in order of how the bracket is laid out (so the first two games’ winners will play each other and so on). I will list my semi-final match-up and Super 7 match-ups as well (but I won’t predict every game to start, I will do weekly predictions from week to week).
