Ohh its too late now bub. If Bourbon pulls this game out Friday, there will be whole lot of crow eaten on this board.

Its crazy to me because usually the "favorited" team is the one talking all of the trash...

Bourbon rolls in this one . To much speed and to many weapons .

Belfry 35-14

Ive seen both times live this year. Bourbon Co. several times and Belfry twice. There is no question that Bourbon is the favorite. Way too much speed and size for the Pirates this year. Belfry is good but this years Bourbon team is head and shoulders about the young Pirates. Im going to be conservative in a prediction but it could get real ugly for the Pirates.

Bourbon Co. 34
Belfry 21

This is a best case scenario for the Pirates, play a good game and limit their turnovers and they stay within 7-14 points. Put the ball on the ground, miss tackles and have stupid penalties and its a running clock by the 3rd Quarter. Believe me, Bourbon is THAT GOOD this year!!! The good news is that Belfry wont have to make the long trip to BG this year and come back with another runner up trophy.

We will be hearing the pads POP early in this game! I think the Pirates will over power Bourbon in the end, and it won't be as close as what people may imagine. Bourbon hasn't played against an O-line and backfield like Belfry this year and won't be able to go 4 quaters with them. Belfry's D has played with some high powered offense's this year and have been successful (minus JC). The new D is also better than before, although I like Dakota Stanley better than Catron at LB. Catron isn't bad, but he lacks the size to stuff a big gaurd or tackle at the LOS IMO. He will definelty lay the big hit though.

It put a smile on my face to see Hatfield get some carries last game! Hopefully he gets more this week. Carr is a great FB, but I like Hatfield better at that position. Johnson, Carr and Hatfield is one deadly combination in the backfield!

Belfry 42
Bourbon 14

The "favorited" team is the one spewing all the trash...BOCO

FTR..here are the only "Blowout" predictions I found...2 for Bourbon...2 for Belfry

Neither team is having predictions spewing trash..I do see people who are doing everything in their power to put themselves in the underdog role and put a chip on their shoulder though from both sides
