Last week I predicted Baytown would beat Freddy by 31 with the game stretching to the final horn but the Dawgs prevailed by 45 near the end of the 3rd quarter. Granted, I was being a bit conservative.
Here's my prediction for this week vs. Summit...
Just like Freddy, Summit will come out fired up and very well prepared. I am quite sure that Summit is well coached and their coaches will have their players ready for this matchup. They will leave everything on the field and they will not go down without a fight!
Even though this will be the BEST defense Summit has played all season, I do feel that Summit will score some points against the #1 six-man defense in Texas. Summit's offense is too good for Baytown to shutout. However, I feel that the aggressive passing game by Summit will eventually play right into the hands of Baytown's defense. No matter how well the Baytown offense performs, it's quite possible that the Baytown defense will outscore the Summit offense.
Bold prediction: Baytown defense will finish the game with 4 INTs, returning two for TDs. In addition, Baytown will return at least one kickoff or punt for a TD.
With that being said, I think Summit will have some success on offense and they will get their fair share of big plays on offense.
Here's my predicted score by quarter:
end of 1Q: Baytown 22, Summit 16
end of 2Q: Baytown 44, Summit 22
Final: Baytown 67, Summit 22 (with 2:00 min. remaining in 3Q)
Best of luck to both teams!
