Mike Says: This is going to be a great game. Both schools are used to winning when they get here having gone a combined 8-3 in Championship games. Its always been a wise decision to not bet against Canadian. Newton is too good though and win in a great game 35-28.
Chris Says: This is the game that is probably the toughest for me to pick. I have had Newton #1 since preseason but I have many friends in Canadian. If Newton hadn't been tested last week against East Bernard, I would have thought that Canadian could catch them off-guard. After that scare however, the Eagles will be ready for a challenge. That said, Canadian isn't going to roll over. I expect it to be a 1-score game regardless who wins. I hate to do it, but I think Newton finished running the table as #1 from start to finish with the win.
