Naz vs St Francis
- Thread starter pjjp
- Start date
Real line Naz -10 (ok that’s my line)
tucs line SF -100000000
tucs line SF -100000000
But Tuccs line secretly is Nazareth by 6-7 TDs
Agree 100%. I also think SF needs to establish a run game…Racki and co. will make adjustments to their passing D vs. last game.
I think Naz -20 is an actually appropriate line. Calpreps has Naz as a -13 favorite in the playoffs on a neutral field…tack on another score for the home field advantage and you get to -20.
SF has had an excellent year, and they are going to be a prohibitive favorite in 5A next year with all they’re bringing back, but this will be Naz closing out this decorated senior class’ chapter with one last title.
I have zero expectations going into this game.
By Wednesday AM there will be a new thread on the forum titled "what happened to the Naz St. Francis thread?"
Book it.
Will anyone take up Jwar on his inevitable offer of a wager?
So many subplots to this one.

Oh man this is pretty early I’m going to sandbag my sandbagging so it can get to Saturday
Racki is consulting Coach Z on making adjustments.
PJJP,
This is one game I won’t wager because I have far too many friends and connections to both sides of the field. I really wish these guys were in separate classes so I could cheer on both full throttle!
Love Bobby and his whole Family, also love Racki and his entire crew. This game is tough especially since they played each other once already this year. There have been few teams that have been able to beat a Racki team twice in the same year. At this point my lean would be Naz for the win, but not ready to make that call quite yet. I will make a call later this week.
Something that is not lost on me is had the kneel down officiating catastrophe not occurred at the end SF vs. Prov this game would be at Francis instead of Naz.
Not necessarily. It would have changed St. Francis' seed and thus changed their entire path to the semi's.
In that scenario though the top 4 seeds are:
Sycamore 1
SF 2
Rochelle 3
Nazareth 4
So SF and Naz still on opposite ends of 5A north…and given how these playoffs have shaken out (no one has come within 1 score of SF or Naz), the only team that can beat either of them is Joliet Catholic.
Oh they fully would still be in the semi's facing Naz, I meant that if their seed were different who they played and where the games were at would change so it wouldn't be guaranteed that it would be a home game against Naz.
That’s old news and honestly did us all a favor - we dont have to watch this game on the blue turf.
This game is really starting to concern me. I mean Naz has essentially had a cake walk through the playoffs clocking all 3 opponents so far while Franny is battle tested. Not to mention the way they dominated in special teams and on 4th down against Naz in week 9. I don't see how the spread tightens any further than Franny -10

I picked Francis week 9 knowing this game would happen again. This time it’s different 35-24 Naz.
He believes the stuff he writes though. It’s called self sabotage.

smells of confidence. I thought for sure he'd have a 3 score game.
My main concern is will Francis still be motivated after winning the Tuccs bowl? I’ve been impressed with how hard they’ve played in these recent exhibition games.
