This week, the Bay Area News Group's high school football prediction panel is back, evaluating a mix of matchups and making predictions for Week 5. Notably, the group remains divided on the Serra vs. St. Ignatius game, with Dycus going against the consensus by picking St. Ignatius. Meanwhile, all panelists expect De La Salle to convincingly defeat El Cerrito. The week’s hardest pick is believed to be Heritage visiting Livermore, where the panel is hesitant but unanimously leans towards Heritage.
