GMC Gridiron–Week Four–Quick Picks
- North Brunswick at Old Bridge–The Knights have moved out of the tough part of the schedule, and are playing at home against GMC Red newcomer North Brunswick. OBHS should win here. Prediction: –Old Bridge wins 28-10.
- St. Joseph’s at Bishop Ahr–A start of a new rivalry could begin with an upset. Bishop Ahr and St. Joe’s have already played J.F. Kennedy this season with the Trojans struggling on the road while St. Joe’s won over the Mustangs at home. BGA is at home and has been around longer.

- Sayreville at J.P. Stevens–The Bombers should win big here over a J.P. Stevens team that got manhandled against P-Way last week.
- South Plainfield at Woodbridge–The Tigers will be looking to rebound this week against a Barrons team that lost to Monroe last week after opening the season with two wins. This could be a tough one for the Barrons, especially if the Tigers can get the ball in the end zone this time. Prediction: Woodbridge wins 21-10.
- New Brunswick at Carteret–The Ramblers should win easily here after defeating more formidable squads in St. Joseph’s, Raritan, and South Plainfield the first three weeks of the season. New Brunswick is playing better, but has lost 23 straight. Prediction: Carteret wins 28-6.
- Metuchen at Cardiinal McCarrick–The Bulldogs and Eagles are coming off tough losses to Shore Conference powerhouses in Shore Regional and Keyport. Metuchen is still searching for its first win while the Eagles will be looking to bounce back to .500. Jahmal Pryce will look to score against a Bulldog defense anchored by Dorian Miller. Prediciton: Metuchen wins 17-16.

- Highland Park at Spotswood–In past years, the Owls would be heavy favorites in this game, but after losing their first three games including lopsided losses to South River (35-7) and Middlesex (32-8), Highland Park is going to have a tough time winning this one against a Spotswood team that is one of the contenders in the Blue Division and beat Middlesex.
