Rod Heckman has been the leader of our Times News Grid Picks race for most of the season. A couple of weeks ago, he had to share the lead with Pat Matsinko.

Now, with the final week upon us, Matsinko is back within just one game of the leader and seems to have the momentum.As for the rest of us, maybe Andy Steinmetz has an outside shot, but that's about it.So with Thanksgiving Day games and playoffs on this final grid, let's see what's at stake:MARIAN AT BISHOP McDEVITT - The Colts will make a trip down to Philadelphia on Friday night for a PIAA first round matchup with District 12's Bishop McDevitt. Something tells me those winning playoff ways are back for Stan Dakosty and his team ... Marian, 21-7.CATASAUQUA AT NORTHAMPTON - Usually the underdog gets the "W" in this Thanksgiving Day battle. Not this time ... Northampton, 28-6.EASTON AT PHILLIPSBURG - The Red Rovers are usually still in the playoffs this time of year so it's a tough decision how much they want to put into the Thanksgiving Day battle. This time is doesn't matter, but I still like ... Phillipsburg, 14-13.QUAKERTOWN AT PENNRIDGE - Don't know too much about this matchup so it's time to "Flip The Coin" ... Quakertown, 20-14.DUNMORE ATNOTRE DAME GP - The Crusaders have had quite a bit of their own way recently, but have quite a tough opponent this week ... Dunmore, 28-22.PARKLAND AT WYOMING VALLEY WEST - The Trojans have been one of the most dominant teams in the Lehigh Valley this season. Wyoming Valley West will cause some problems, but ... Parkland, 28-23.SAUCON VALLEY AT SCRANTON PREP - The Panthers showed that the win over Bethlehem Catholic two weeks ago was no fluke with their trashing of Lehighton last weekend. Now every team you face is a good one ... Saucon Valley, 21-19.YORK CATHOLIC AT CAMP HILL - A District 3 playoff battle that should go down to the wire ... Camp Hill, 21-12.BERKS CATHOLIC AT WYOMISSING AREA - Looks like most people like Berks Catholic in this one. So I'll go with the upset here ... Wyomissing, 14-13.CENTRAL DAUPHIN EAST AT CUMBERLAND VALLEY - Another big District 3 rematch that saw Cumberland Valley roll by a 31-14 score in the regular season ... Cumberland Valley, 28-7.HEMPFIELD AT CENTRAL DAUPHIN - Looks here like Central Dauphin has played the toughest schedule here ...

North Penn, 21-12.SUSQUEHANNA TOWNSHIP AT MANHEIM CENTRAL - Looks like I'll have to go with ... Susquehanna Township, 27-23.UPPER MORELAND AT ACADEMY PARK - There's just something about that Academy Park team that sounds so good ...
