Pigskin Prophets: Week 8

Let's call it Separation Weekend. In Division II, the top four teams are tied for first place and they play each other. In Division III, four of the top six teams also go head-to-head. And in Division I, a few teams could find their seasons coming to end rather quick. Our group of high school football "experts"  try to successfully predict the outcome of a handful of select games from around the state. Following are this week's picks.
