This game could go either way, but I'm going to pick Manual 14-10 because I think they want this win more, they have the talent to do it & X may be overlooking them a tad after playing Trinity & Male back to back. Should be a great game.

X in a slightly close game.

The field conditions will be night and day different from last week's games. Who does this help? I have not seen X play (circumstances prevented me from seeing the T-X game, thank God) but I did see Manual play Trinity last week in very sloppy conditions. M has some tall receivers but last week , probably due to the wet conditions, their QB had a little trouble getting them the ball. What the QB did do well, however, was run the ball as he is a very good runnner IMO. M's defense is tough, too. This is a very good Manual team. But, if I had to pick a winner, I'd go with X 20-16.
