The Prediction Machine has been upgraded with more RAM, processors and updated databases to run the numbers again - simulating each game at least 1,000 times!

Well, maybe not. But 810 Varsity's Prediction Machine has still hit over 80% of games the last four years, and nearly 85% in 2017 and over 80% in 2018!

So read who's going to win this weekend - today!

Last Week:  9-6
Total: 268-56 (82.7%)

MISSOURI
Blue Springs at Rockhurst (Saturday)
The last time these two met, Rockhurst turned its season around with a 17-0 shutout of the Wildcats. Is it a surprise these two are meeting again three months later? No.
It’ll be an emotionally charged effort for Blue Spring, but in the end, Rockhurst is solid all around, and a rematch with CBC in the state final looks to be ahead.
Winner: Rockhurst

Fort Osage at Staley (Saturday)
The road in the Class 5 playoffs usually goes through Staley, and that’s where it ends for most. Fort is playing well, but Staley just laid out North Kansas City and is playing extremely well on both sides of the ball.
Winner: Staley

Warrensburg at Smithville
The consecutive games of Kearney and Platte County will be harder than the quarterfinals and semifinals for Smithville. A special year for the Warriors.
Winner: Smithville

Odessa at Maryville (Saturday)
Been nice if this game was another round later. But here it is, and should be a great one. Going with the versatility of Odessa on offense.
Winner: Odessa

Summit Christian at Lathrop
Mules!
Winner: Lathrop

KANSAS
Blue Valley North at Olathe North
BV North is rolling along, and the defending champs have shown why in rolling 40+ ppg for two months. Olathe North is a much better version of Gardner-Edgerton, but still a run-oriented team and if get behind, can they make up ground on the Mustangs?
Winner: Blue Valley North

Olathe West at St. Thomas Aquinas
Been quite a storybook tale for the Owls. First year of the program. Win 2 games in the regular season. Win 3 in the Class 5A playoffs. And while a great first year, not all stories have a fairy tale ending.
Winner: St. Thomas Aquinas

Bishop Miege at Basehor-Linwood
Until Kansas Class 4A is adjusted, what’s the point of playoffs in football, basketball, volleyball, soccer ... ? Yet another small town (pop: 6,015) faces the school with the nation’s proportional biggest advantage in talent pool (KC Metro pop: 2.2 million) to the competition.
Yeah, it's not KSHSAA's fault since proposals have to be made by schools and passed in a statewide vote (and not just enacted), nor Bishop Miege's fault to keep up in the EKL.
But in the end, guess 40-point blowouts in the playoffs is what everyone wants.
Winner: Ummm, really?
