Dixie also beat Ryle in the 2019 playoffs, 18 - 6.

I think Dixie will win this matchup as well.

Good catch. Got that one edited in.

Should be a good game, both teams have good lines. This will be won in the trenches.

I think Dixie wins this. But I'm not 100% on that thought. It appears Ryle is getting better every week. They have a good defensive front. Dixie had a lot of injuries against SK last week. I have no idea how that effects their lineup, but it might. Dixies running game may not find it easy sledding. If Ryle can limit the mistakes against an opportunistic Dixie defense they keep this close and will potentially be in a position to win it. Gonna be either a close defensive slugfest that could go either way, or a Dixie blowout.

As long as the injuries weren't on the line or Landers, Dixie has the depth elsewhere to overcome them.
