Rivals Mercer (3-1) and Anderson (2-1) are coming off their first losses. Anderson won 48-7 last year and has a four-year winning streak in the series. Mercer's last win was in 2004 before the series was interrupted for four years.

Mercer has improved, but don't think quite enough yet. AC 41-MC-31

I like Anderson 35-14. Mercer is still banged up and AC will be trying to make a statement after the loss.

Anderson Co. 42-27.

Anderson 35-20. Special teams plays a row in this one.

Anderson will win this side in 5A unless Pulaski is for real. Anderson has all the pieces. Their receiver is as better than most except for the kid at Bg and trinity. He is big and fast. Mercers d backs are small. But the line is where mercer will get dominated ,and because none of thier backs even come close to being as good or strong as James Johnson from

Last year they lose .

Anderson 49

Mercer 13

I think Anderson shows up big in this one 45 to 7
