Went back and watched Martin Co vs P-burg and I think this game will be closer than the first meeting. 

After watching Martins secondary react to the few passes p-burg threw, I think the Eagles will move the ball and score points on Martin. 

The X factor for this game is going to be will LC find a way to stop Martin on a drive or two. LC is going to want this game to be a shootout and not a defensive battle.

As for LC's defense, I am no coach but it seems obvious to me that LC needs to stack the box and try and get Martins offense off the field, but once again that involves LC's defense providing some kind of resistance to the run. If Martin is able to sustain long drives and eat away at the clock than it will be a long night for Leslie. 

With that being said, I have been hard on the Eagles all season but I am still hopeful they will show up to play Friday and will make this a game. I am still not confident enough to predict a win for the Eagles but I think they will have their chances and if they are able to capitalize on those opportunities then they could very well leave Martin Co. with a win.

I think coach Melton and staff will have a good game plan for Friday. 

New prediction

Martin Co- 42
Leslie Co- 41
