This week we continue our annual attempt to pick against and with the Dayton
Daily News and ThisWeek News in Columbus. We've also got our Ohio 12 Pack - our statewide slate of big games.
Here’s who we say wins in Week 9. Do we like your team's chances?
DAYTON DAILY NEWS
Last Week: (5-1)
Season: (34-14, 71%)
Turned in a solid 5-1 week. The only loss? I picked Brookville over my alma mater Bellbrook. Eagles made me pay. The overall race has boiled down to myself and Greg Billing. WHIO sports anchor Mike Hartsock just spent a week in Cancun and forgot to make his picks. I understand.

Greg Billing (Dayton Daily News Reporter) 37-11
Eric Frantz (JJHuddle Managing Editor) 34-14
Mike Hartsock (WHIO TV Sports Director) 28-19
