Still sticking with my initial thoughts.

This is a far cry from some of the NewCath teams of the past decade.... but I think SV has a real hard time with their athleticism and speed.

With that said.. I honestly think NC fans are about to feel very uncomfortable watching this game. Definitely over valuing NewCath and under valuing SV. I actually think SV is a better team than Newport. Better up front and better defensively. They dont have the playmaker that Price is, but they are better as a committee.

The balance of NC I think will be too much to overcome and the enormity of the game is foreign to SV and old hat to the Breds. Special teams I think could be a difference maker as well

Still liking NC by about 11-14 with Valley giving a gutty effort that earns respect.
