New Jersey State Playoff Predictions
by Alex Schwartz
I've gone through the brackets and made my picks of each and every game of the NJSIAA playoffs. Below you will see my picks for each section, group, and the TOC. I'm picking the winner of every game, so if a team is not listed, it means I have them losing in the first round, hence the reasoning for many different seeds shown in the quarterfinals. Have a look at how I see the 2009 New Jersey playoffs shaping up:
