Richmond VS Clayton Round 2

I like Richmond by 2 scores.

Interesting fact about this game. Raider RB great, Marcus Rush, has 2 sons on Richmond (21 and 4) and one on Clayton (5).
 
i went to the clayton /cleveland game on the final week of the season,
It was there version of scotland/richmond, 37/35 absolute thriller won
by the number 1 seed Cleveland, the atmosphere of that game was fantastic
in a PACKED HOUSE.. Im trying to figure who to take in the pigskin this week
in this game. Raiders do not take this team lightly, should be hard to as the computers
have clayton a small favorite. Maybe heading over for this one...
 
I don’t think RC takes this team lightly. I think Clayton may be favored and they can definitely win this game. Always tough to win at RC.
 
Very good football team and well coached. Coach does not put stats in MaxPreps, but I understand leading up to their last regular season game their defense was allowing less than 90 yards per game. D1 talent on their defensive line and strong LB core. They cover the run really well.

On the offense, QB1 is dual threat athlete with D1 offers. Transfer from Gibbons. Big upfront to give him protection and a couple of running backs they interchange. QB can pass the ball as well but tends to tuck and run when he receives pressure.

Against Cleveland, their secondary had some miscues covering the pass. Also, they were penalty prone. I’m sure the coaching staff worked on this in the off week.

I’m a fan of all teams in the Greater Neuse River conference when playing outside the conference. I hear Richmond is good, but I’ll take the Comets by 7. It’s unfortunate these two teams are meeting in the second round when both finished inside the top 8 in the RPI. Should be a 3rd round game.
 
Go with Raiders, Last Time these Two Met it was Ugly. Won 48-2, I know they have some studs on Clayton’s Dline this year but they Had some Then Also.
 
I do believe that Richmond is more battle-tested than Clayton. That and homefield advantage (maybe) will be the difference.

Denson is calling out Raider fans, too. Gotta show up!
 
Scots needs help with his pick.....lol i do too this is a tricky one
nope kw any information picked up is always good but as above noted things are
quiet site wide, very interesting game here and the raiders are so quiet....that speaks a little for itself, a tight one expected 30 min down the road.

I will be making my trip from Raleigh to see my Raiders play!! Funny, I live 15 min. from Clayton and 10 min. from Cleveland, but will drive 2 hrs. to see my Raiders!!!!!
 
While Clayton has bolstered their defensive line this year, it will be interesting to see if they can effectively contain Richmond's offensive strategies.
