77 combined points????????

You saw that Commercial Appeal predicted Covington to win 42-35 didn’t you? That adds to 77 total points.

My thoughts exactly! I would really expect to see a 17-14 game. 

You may be closer to right with the score. I jus feel like these teams are probably better offensively than defensively. So that’s why I think there will be some points scored. But don’t see 77 combined. But a lot of times the game you think will have big points turn into a defensive battle or one team throttles the other. Interesting matchup for sure.

Anything is possible I guess but I will be in shock if we see that level of scoring.

Dyersburg is the goods defensively. The front 7 is really stinking good. Covington will have to throw the ball to loosen up the run D. I really think Dyersburg wins this one by 1-2 scores. And I would be shocked if Covington scores more than 14 unless they hit a big pass or special teams play. If Dburg hangs on to the ball and doesn’t do Covington any favors, the Trojans will win comfortably.

Let's get back to the Covington-Dyersburg game. The Commercial Appeal has this prediction:

Covington (1-1) at Dyersburg (2-0) 

When: 7 p.m., Friday 

Covington’s Skylan Smith rushed for 258 yards with four touchdowns in a 35-27 win over Brighton in Week 2. Look for Smith to have another strong performance because just like last season, when he gets going, the team succeeds. The Chargers begin their pursuit for a second consecutive undefeated Region 7-3A record.  

Wilcox’s pick: Covington 42, Dyersburg 35 

Film I saw Smith carries it 90 percent of the time which will play right in to Dyersburg defense. They will have to open up playbook to beat Dyersburg

If you say their the goods, then they the goods. I believe that. I just know how these kind of games can go. I believe D-burg is the favorite. I just will be shocked if it a large margin.

After I saw them absolutely dismantle Milan in a scrimmage I was sold. Milan is a good team and they made them look like a middle school team.
