Ben Davis, Center Grove, and Warren Central will all win by as many points as they want to, so that's 3 road teams out of 5 picked as automatic wins.
Cathedral at Lawrence North: Both teams having great passing games, so this game should have a lot of points. In the end, I think Cathedral just has more good players and experience than LN. Cathedral 45, LN 31.
Fishers at Hamilton SE: Best game in the state this week. HSE has won 5 games in a row in this series, including in the playoffs. You have to wonder if Fishers really believes if they can get over the hump against HSE. Last season HSE won their meeting in the postseason by 22 points. I think HSE makes a statement tonight and wins by double digits. HSE 31, Fishers 21.
Westfield at Noblesville: This is a classic trap game for Westfield. Westfield only won the regular season meeting with Noblesville by 7 points. The Shamrocks played their best half of the season in the first half against Carmel. They need to bring that same intensity and passion against Noblesville or Noblesville will run the ball right down their throats. Westfield needs to win the line of scrimmage and not turn the ball over. This Noblesville team is gonna give Westfield everything they can handle as this game is their Super Bowl. I think Westfield wins but Noblesville will put up a fight for 4 quarters. Westfield 35, Noblesville 28.
