Top 5 Most Likely to Upset Games for Week One
Las Cruces (No. 8) over Volcano Vista (No. 4)
Hobbs (No. 11) over Clovis (No. 5)
La Cueva (No. 6) over Cibola (No. 3)
Roswell (No. 16) over Farmington (No. 12)
Artesia (No. 15) over Carlsbad (No. 9)
Scoop: When we say most likely to upset we are thinking of some close contests between teams. We haven't put our predictions or game lines out yet but these are five games to watch on the upset radar.
Rivals: Artesia and Carlsbad will likely always be on the list as the two battle it out each season for the Eddy County Rivalry. Hobbs came close last season at Clovis and will look to upset the Wildcats on Friday night. We could see another low-scoring battle in this one.
First Timer: Cibola is sitting at number three to enter the season, their highest ranking in the top-25. La Cueva went 0-3 in the Spring but return a talented and somewhat underrated roster. Cibola has their studs. This is the game to see this week.
Just Don't Know: Las Cruces and Roswell are a pair of question marks teams heading into the season. Both are powers in their classification but lost some key pieces the last three years and could be in a development year. Cruces will host fourth-ranked Volcano Vista while Roswell hosts the top team in 5A - Farmington. It is a long trip for the number one team and Roswell, well Roswell in Roswell and under Lynn have become the team to beat in 5A.
If I Had to Pick (and I do): The odds are not in the favor as Clovis has owned this game, winning like 20 of 21 games (I didn't fact check) however, I think I am going with the Eagles.
What favorite will fall in week one?
