Also I agree with Steel on the idea that the bye week is going to hurt Richland. But despite all of this I am still going to pick Richland to end Cavaliers run at three straight state championships. Watched a few of Richland's games and they are legit. I think this game will be back and forth all game with Richland pulling away late in the fourth

Richland only beat Hankinson by 4 and realistically should have lost that game. I'm going to go with Cavalier by a touchdown.

You are right, Richland squeaked one out against Hankinson, and probably should have lost the game. But, if you watched the game, you would likely say Richland was clearly the better team. How often have you seen a team turn the ball over 5 times and give up a long pass for a TD on the last play of the 2nd quarter (I'm pretty sure it was the last play) and still win a game? It was like Richland did all they could to hand a good opponent the game and they still couldn't take it.
In looking at the Richland vs. Cavalier game, I think Cavalier has a stronger line and is a more physical team as a whole. I believe Richland has better skill players and better team speed. I normally go with the team with the better line, especially if they are more physical. I do think this will be an entertaining game. If there isn't a wide disparity in turnovers or key injuries early in the game I am going with Richland by two scores.
I think this will be the most entertaining game of this weekend in any division of ND playoffs.
