I believe this will be the first ever match-up between the Lakers and the Knights. There are 3 common opponents with all the games being very similar blowouts. I really think this has the making for a close, high scoring contest. Both teams have the potential to score fast and both have descent defenses. If the Lakers can keep the Knights from having too may big plays, and take care of the ball, then I like our chances. I would like them better against a more run oriented team......the passing game concerns me more. Turnovers will likely be a killer for either team.

If all things were even, I'd give Lex Cath the slight edge, but this game being in Russell County might be enough to swing it to the Lakers. Of course, I wouldn't mind a Friday forecast calling for heavy rain and temps under 40 to help slow down the Knights' passing game.
