By: Kyle Henderson of NMPreps.com

Teams listed in bold are the favorites this weekend, print this up put it in your locker room!!!

Wednesday, August 26th
  • Sandia @ Volcano Vista (Community 7PM) - Coin flip game, Sandia's offensive line vs. Volcano's offensive potency

Thursday, August 27th
  • Santa Teresa @ San Elizario TX 63PM - Have to think Santa Teresa opens the season with a win over San Eli
  • Eldorado @ Rio Grande (Community 7PM) - Eagles impressed in week 0, Jayce Jackson should shine

Friday, August 28th
  • Artesia @ Belen 7PM - Too much Artesia offense, could get ugly
  • Aztec vs. Bloomfield 7PM - Aztec is young, but hold off Bobcats
  • Bayfield CO @ Kirtland 7PM - Will the new helmets be enough to beat Bayfield
  • Carlsbad @ EP Americas 7PM - EP Americas is going to be a tough hill to climb in week 1
  • Centennial @ Onate 7PM - Coin Flip Game or is it? Last year Centennial won by 32 points
  • Clayton @ West LV 7PM - New coach same Clayton? Tight game expected
  • Cobre @ Morenci AZ 7PM - Think Cobre has enough experience to pull off a win in AZ
  • Deming @ Flowing Wells 7PM - No idea about Flowing Wells, know Deming has Dante at QB
  • Del Norte @ St. Pius X (Milne 7PM) - Eager to see the Spartans open up the offense
  • Dora @ Melrose 7PM - Can't bet against the Buffs
  • EP Del Valle @ Gadsden 7PM - Not sure if they are as good as last year, but Del Valle is A+
  • EP Riverside @ Chaparral 7PM - EP Riverside likely the two touchdown favorite here
  • Escalante @ Tucumcari 7PM - Can Tucumcari stop Dominic Montano at QB
  • Estancia @ Lovington 7PM - Is Lovington really the favorite? 3A vs. 5A game really stands out.
  • Farmington @ Los Lunas 7PM - Think Los Lunas is going to keep it close, if O'Maury is healthy
  • Gallup @ Grants 7PM - Pirates pull off a good home opener
  • Goddard @ Clovis 7PM - Home field advantage gives the Wildcats a slight edge
  • Hagerman @ Capitan 7PM - New coach, same Hagerman. Thinking Bobcats do work
  • Hatch @ Dexter 7PM - Hatch could be scary good this year, tough road trip though
  • Jal @ Questa 7PM - This is the longest road trip maybe all season. Panthers edge Wildcats out
  • La Cueva @ Atrisco Heritage (Community 8PM) - Atrisco's offense might just be enough
  • Las Cruces @ EP Montwood (SAC 4:00PM) (yes that's the correct time) - Tough place for the Dawgs to pull off a victory, we shall see
  • Los Alamos @ Pojoaque 7PM - Toppers are improved this year from what we hear
  • Manzano @ Cleveland 7PM - Big statement expected from the preseason No. 1 Friday
  • Mayfield @ Hobbs 7PM - Tough road trip for the No. 2 ranked team, Trojans On Upset Alert?
  • Moriarty @ Miyamura 7PM - Patriots just need to feed the rock to AJ and they'll be fine
  • Mountainair @ Magdalena 7PM - Steers still hot from last year, likely
  • Navajo Prep @ Laguna Acoma 7PM - Who will step up in Casa Blanca for David McGee?
  • NMMI @ Ft. Sumner 7PM - This is like shooting blindfolded picking NMMI, but I think their staff does a good job
  • Rio Rancho @ Valley (Community 5PM) - Defense and big plays move the winning streak to 14
  • Robertson @ Portales 7PM - Very tough road trip for the Cards, but they have enough talent to win an OT thriller
  • Roswell @ Ruidoso 7PM - Coyotes get some payback from 2014
  • San Juan UT @ Piedra Vista 7PM - Tough week 1 for PV, however I like the Upset
  • SFIS @ Cuba 7PM - Braves get first W of the season
  • Silver @ Capital 7PM - Very interesting match up, Jags will have tough time stopping Jeremiah Burke though
  • Socorro @ Shiprock 7PM - Chieftains get first W of the season
  • St. Mike’s @ Santa Fe 7PM - Horsemen find away to win this one late, could be epic 48 mins
  • Texico @ Santa Rosa 7PM - Coin Flip game, winning in Santa Rosa is never easy though
  • Tularosa @ Hot Springs 7PM - Thinking the Wildcats have a tough time stopping Nick Moreno at RB
  • Valencia @ Alamogordo 7PM - Like the Tigers to make a big home statement

Saturday, August 29th
Albuquerque @ Cibola (Community 5PM) - Who Knows? Coin Flip maybe? Should be a fun game to watch
Highland @ West Mesa (Community 1PM) - West Mesa opens with a big victory
Hondo Valley @ Floyd 3PM - Hard to pick against Hondo anytime
Hope @ Academy 11AM - Thinking the Huskies win wild one

Carlsbad JV @ Loving 6PM - Carlsbad JV beats Loving
