Last week was more on the average side for head varsity football coach Marcus Teal, assistant varsity football coach Robert Cutts, principal Tam Larnerd, athletic administrator William Hemberger, and the Grizzly Community.

Every one of our experts wound up with a 2-2 record, all losing in the Bears-Lions game where the Lions pulled off an upset. The Grizzly Community was the victor of last week, posting a 3-1 record, only losing with the experts in the Bears-Lions game.

Week 13 saw the last undefeated team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, finally get their first loss of the season, falling to the Washington Football Team in arguably the biggest upset of the week. Before the loss, football fans were already giving the Steelers a rough time about their “easy” route to 11-0 and how they were close to losing it on multiple occasions to some of the lesser teams in the league. And with the loss to a team in arguably the worst division in the professional level, even more criticism has been thrown in their direction. However, there are those, including our experts, that defend the Steelers and their run.

“I think the Steelers had a good run up to their loss last week,” Teal said. “I think they are a very good team and that they took the WFT for granted, maybe they were looking past them.  Steelers will be in the thick of things at the end!”

Teal: “As a Raider fan, I need the Chiefs to beat the Dolphins! I like the Chiefs.”
