In three weeks, Gateway, Thomas Jefferson, Greensburg Central Catholic and Clairton will walk out of Heinz Field with championship trophies.

At least that's what The Fumbler says. Those are his picks in the four classifications. All are No. 1 seeds, except Greensburg Central Catholic, a No. 2 seed.

The Fumbler knows Beaver Falls fans might be ready to egg his new home in Wampum, but The Fumbler just can't get himself to pick all the No. 1 seeds.

The question is: Should you pay attention to The Fumbler's championship picks? Well, pay half attention. Since he started picking games for the Post-Gazette in 1993, he has correctly picked the champion 27 of 60 times, close to 50 percent.

Last week, The Fumbler was 48-17 (.738 percentage). For the season, he is 450-109 (.805).

Here is a look at some of this weekend's top playoff games (all game times 7:30 p.m.):

Upper St. Clair (6-3) at McKeesport (7-2) -- The WPIAL football steering committee has been criticized for making Upper St. Clair a No. 14 seed in AAAA. But what about McKeesport? The Tigers got a much tougher opponent than they expected. Winner: McKeesport.

Woodland Hills (4-5) at North Allegheny (5-4) -- Since becoming eligible in midseason, Woodland Hills running back Dom Timbers has made a difference in the offense. He could also be the difference in this game. Can North Allegheny recover after being handled by North Hills? Winner: Woodland Hills.

Montour (5-4) at Yough (5-4) -- The Fumbler would love to write that Yough will end the Keystone Conference's 28-game playoff losing streak. But he just can't. Winner: Montour.

Mars (6-3) at Chartiers Valley (7-2) -- How many teams in the history of the WPIAL playoffs have had a freshman start at quarterback? Not many. But that's what Chartiers Valley has in Wayne Capers. Winner: Chartiers Valley.

Beaver (7-2) at Sto-Rox (8-1) -- Beaver has the WPIAL's leading rusher in Jake Nardone. Sto-Rox has the WPIAL's second-leading passer in Paul Jones. Running is paramount in the WPIAL playoffs. Winner: Beaver.
