Week one Mississippi High School Football Betting Lines (if this was legal)

Jake Wimberly

We are off and running this week in Mississippi football. While the MAIS is out in front in games played, it’s all hands on deck this coming Friday as the 2021 Mississippi high school football season officially kicks off.

You can always check out the #GURU poll here - our top ten in Mississippi High School Football.

Like college and the NFL, we love to predict high school football, but what if we applied a value to it this year? Like a sports gaming line.

Now we can’t go to a casino and play high school football, but what if we could?

Using the same data sets I use for the College Football Hour Glass - where we are on year seven of predicting all 129 D1 teams, playing lines, setting lines and more - as well as year two of NFL Hour Glass; let’s try our hand at high school football here.

The first ever High School Football Hour Glass is here. This will be our toughest test yet, due to several unknowns, but we will use our simple criteria here.

Using roster talent, coaching efficiency and staff efficiency and quarterback play I have set lines for TEN football games this week.

We can get into the weeds later on the numbers, but below are lines I set for ten matchups this week with projected score totals.

12 games this week, as we cannot do them all - but maybe one day.

Enjoy!
