As we move deeper it gets tougher but I still do not see HC having enough to seriously challenge Mayfield

 

Thoughts

No problems for the cardinals

42-7

Ditto the predictions above. Mayfield likely with a running clock victory.

Mayfield 49-14.

With Mayfield never really playing a middle of the pack 1A team during the regular season, these matchups in the playoffs always intrigue me. It would be great if Mayfield jumped out quickly and put the smack down early on, but for some reason I don't know if a second round playoff game is enough to get their attention. I would not be shocked if this one is tight for a couple of quarters... like the Russellville and Murray games... before the Cardinals get in gear during the second half. I hope there's a running clock, but I just don't think it gets to that point. 45-20 Cardinals

I think it'll be in that 38-14 range.. Mayfield will get out to a comfortable lead and play that ball control grind it out game and keep everyone healthy..

Mayfield, next question.

Game time is 6:30 pm Central time.

Won't be tight except at kick off! Cards roll by 50
