Payton Round 2 Point Spreads

Round 1 Accuracy: 1 out of 4. That's right. But it'll be better this week.
 
+3 Knoxville (#3 9-7) +3 @ Hermitage (#2 10-6)
 
This should be the closest game in round 2, both teams match up very well. Neither team has an advantage in any category. A superior Hermitage passing game is offset by a superior Knoxville pass defense. Knoxville does have a punt returner, Steve Breaston, who can return one for a touchdown. Maybe that will be the difference.
 
Offense: K #10, H #6
Rushing: K #11, TDs #15, H #5, TDs #6
Passing: K #16 TDs #12, H #6, TDs #8
 
Defense: K #8, H #9
Rushing: K #18, H #19
Passing: K #9 (23 TDs - #11), H #14 (22 TDs - #8)
 
+16 San Pedro (#5 9-7) @ NW Missouri (#1 12-4)
 
NW Missouri has the top scoring offense in the league. QB Carson Palmer threw for an average of almost 300 yds per game to a cornicopia of targets : WRs Holt (93 receptions) and Smith (87 receptions), TE Gonzalez (99 receptions) and Westbrook out of the backfield (90 receptions). That array of weaponry will put a lot of stress on a porous San Pedro pass defense, one of the worst in the league in keeping touchdown passes from occurring (31 for the season.)
 
Offense: SP #11 (21.3), NWM #1 (33.0)
Rushing: SP #2, TDs #5, TDs, NWM #6, TDs #3
Passing: SP #19 (175.2, TDs 23), NWM #1 (297.0 TDs 41)
 
Defense: SP #10 (20.6), NWM #4 (16.8)
Rushing: SP #16 (111.6, 7TDs), NWM #1 (68.5, 4TDs)
Passing: SP #11 (31 TDs - #21), NWM #6 (18 TDS - #5)
