Playoffs State Semifinal Round Smithson Valley vs Port Arthur Memorial Predictions/Friday Night 7pm Legacy Stadium in Katy

[2trill]

Martin have the most rushing  yard record at memorial now as well 

[PAT00]

If memorial plays a clean game and the trenches play well they’ll have a chance. Secondary gone have to do better as well. SV plays good sound football without all the mistakes. They have experience going this deep but we have some speed that could surprise them.

Was alerted earlier in a message about the travel mess thru HTown on the way to Katy on I-10: 

'Take 610, Beltway , or 99 around. Construction has either shut that down or reduced it to 1 lane.

Better leave early early next Friday'

 

@Austin1985 I know you been out thru there recently, how was it?

There's some work around the Spring area on 99 but it ain't enough for me to take 10.  90 to 99 all the way to the stadium

After watching some games, PAM HAS to play clean, and they're going to need some explosive plays. I don't see either team being able to sustain long drives all game. SV has more speed than people think. This game may come down to who makes 1 or 2 breakout scores. If both play to form, this should be a very low scoring affair. Games like this magnify Special Teams. I could see 21-24 points being a magic number. Just don't see either team scoring more than that.

I don’t think it will be that much of a swing either way.

Hey! That's me!

Just a note that I do a version of this for every playoff game starting with the 3rd round. I do selected games in 1st two rounds.

So, be sure to check in anytime you are looking for this kind of info on playoff games.

I have a capsule up for all 20 Semifinal games and I'll have one up for all 12 championship games.

📊 Prediction Summary

📌 Edge: Port Arthur Memorial
Many projections (e.g., computer models) give the slight edge to Port Arthur Memorial — the Titans’ undefeated season and explosive offense narrowly outweigh Smithson Valley’s defensive strength, but this game should be very close and could go either way.

Best guess:
➡️ Port Arthur Memorial wins by a small margin, but Smithson Valley has the talent and experience to pull off an upset.

Good luck to our friends at PAM.  GO TITIANS!

Play fast, be physical, and when adversity happens, forget it and go on to the next play.

[PackAttack]

I think this game comes down to if PAM can avoid the penalties and discipline errors that have made some  games closer than they should be this year. PAM has been able to overcome those situations so far to stay undefeated. Smithson Valley is very disciplined and do not make error that beat themselves.  If PAM plays a disciplined game and few penalties, they can win this game.

I think that if the Game is called as it should be then it would be a great game and Pam will get the W. If we have to play more than 11 players then we will make the adjustments and still get the W. Either way PAM wins this Game.
