I hate predicting games, but you know, I have to disrespect somebody.

Here are my picks for some of Orange County’s bigger games of Week 3:

Servite 28, Edison 21
Newport Harbor 21, Corona del Mar 7 (Thursday)
Laguna Hills 24, El Toro 21
Dana Hills 17, Loyola 14
El Dorado 14, Placentia Valencia 7

And here are five bonus picks from beyond the Orange Curtain:

Notre Dame 24, Birmingham 21 (Thursday)
St. Bonaventure 28, Oaks Christian 21
Los Osos 21, Norco 14
Dominguez 32, Redlands East Valley 28
Los Altos 35, Damien 27

So-called expert: Last week, 7-3; Season, 13-7
