As much as I sandbag I think its fair to say 19.5 for the meek and lowly roadrunners is a bit aggressive as well.

The Provi Rita game seems insane to me. I don’t see Provi losing this game, it will be a good one but that team is pretty stacked at the moment. Curious to see how this year plays out with a crazy tough schedule for them.

Rita could beat them but by over two TDs, man that game would have to absolutely get away from Provi. With an experienced QB and team, no way.
