EDM will win.

Why?  MTL has infinity better players on O (except RB), but EDM has the best DL that has proven it will kill even the most mobile QBs.  More importantly: EDM has the best SYSTEM who plays as a complete TEAM.  They take that ragtag garbage REC corps that only has 1 good player (Mack) and can move the ball as well as any team, partly due to Rankin, partly due to Cody's scrambles, and mostly due to that SSK-esque short game and balanced approach.

MTL is pinning the entire thing on Alexander performing a dozen miracles.  That's it.  By only dressing 1 RB (first time this season? excluding injury) they are proclaiming they are going 90% pass -- or more.  I guess they figure it's hopeless to try to run against EDM, as BC found out.

Spieker back gives them depth and he's the DNA so he can play 25 snaps taking a NAT off the field.  Ento's back to eat balls thrown to Mathis/KJG or Robustelli.

Ford lined up against Philpot will take him out of the equation, like BC also did.  I doubt Alexander is able to move by the end of the game.  And maybe even Cody gets hurt -- he takes way too many chances.  I think it would be hilarious if the game ends with Powell vs Crum -- find out who really is the Next Big Thing (if any!).

MTL will have to wait another year -- hopefully when we have won the West and can exact our revenge for '23 after we've hosed Cody in a WDF @PAS.
Never go full Johnston!
