[Hoot Gibson]

I will be at home, seated in my Leap V2 chair, watching the game at https://t1073.com/sports.html (voice of the Redhounds) on one monitor and Lexington Catholic on a second monitor. I will probably have the BGR Various Updates thread up on the third monitor. I may mute the sound and stream WSIP's play-by-play if it matches the video.


I am picking Johnson Central in an 8 point upset win over Corbin for three reasons. First, and the most important, I am a Johnson Central fan. I was there when the program began and followed them for years before they finally won a playoff game. I played for Coach Peck's grandfather, who was Johnson Central's first football coach.

The second reason is that a Johnson Central win would gain me at least a couple of points in the Overall Pick'em standings over most users and I need to pick a few upsets to improve my standing. 

The third reason is that if Johnson Central can hold its own along the offensive line, then I think it will be very hard for Corbin to contain all of JC's running back and it will be tough for Corbin to run against Johnson Central's defense. That leaves the passing game, and I don't think Corbin is capable of scoring enough through the air to win, without mounting a strong running game.

If Corbin controls the LOS on both sides of the ball, then I doubt that JC will have much of a chance but I have confidence that Johnson Central's line will be much better than most Corbin fans are expecting. If the battle along the LOS is a stalemate, then Corbin will probably win because of its kicking game. Johnson Central has to move the chains consistently tonight, especially when deep in their own territory and they need to at least flip the field with their drives to make Corbin sustain some long drives of their own. The Golden Eagles cannot afford many three-and-outs starting from their own 20 and expect to win.

As for food, I will probably have thinly sliced ribeye over rice and a salad for dinner and maybe a bowl of popcorn during the game. Or maybe I will fix some homemade hot dog sauce and have a couple of hot dogs during the game.

Really good analysis !!!  I don't agree with every single point but I agree with most them.

Remarks in bold is the only thing I agree with about your analysis

You’re drinking early today. Idk what’ll hurt worse in the morning for you the hangover or the big L.

(Just in case you did not notice, the first thread was closed and this one replaced it. The title is similar, so it would be easy to overlook the difference. Please disregard this post if you already know what happened with the previous thread.)
