I'll give this game the same score prediction I gave the HF/Shepherd game coming up 30-21 but Huntsville winning.

I like the way you think!

Huntsville had 3 of their 4 team captains miss the Dayton game due to injury.  The PNG and Montgomery games were rough for team health.  The top RB and the top CB are back though.  I’ll take Huntsville 37-21.

On paper, this is a good matchup for Nederland. Nederland’s biggest strength is its agressive run defense. They’re capable of doing the most important thing for stopping the Huntsville offense: Attack the backfield and get to the runner before he can break into open field. On the other side, Huntsville’s defense hasn’t been very good in any game, so Nederland can hope to get some points. The problem is Nederland’s execution, which mostly hasn’t improved all season. That will be the difference. Mistakes, fumbles, missed blocks, poorly timed plays will give Nederland short drives and Huntsville more chances to score . Huntsville wins 28-14.

DCTF has Huntsville as a 16 point favorite.

If you have watched the Bulldogs then you know that they are absolutely horrible on defense. I am talking the entire defense especially LB’ers and Secondary. DL is better, however not by much. They are giving up 38 points per game in district. I look for Huntsville to score 35 are more and Montgomery 50 plus

You’re not wrong. My point is the only thing Ned’s defense has been good at is being aggressive attacking the runner and getting to the backfield. That lines up well with what Huntsville is trying to do. PNG, Montgomery, and Lake creek were very successful being aggressive against the run, and Huntsville doesn’t really have a plan B. They’re not good passing. So, Nederland needs to sell out completely against the run. Force them to win through the air. Yeah, Ned’s secondary and linebackers aren’t good, so just have the linebackers attack gaps and tell the secondary to do their best. That’s basically your best shot and it plays to the only thing Ned’s good at on defense.
