Friday, Oct. 23 · Week 8 · at Egg Harbor City, NJ
Holy Spirit wins about 89 times in 100.
What’s on the line
Each team’s biggest open goal, from this week’s run of the season: a playoff spot, then a home playoff game (top 8), then a No. 1 seed (top 2).
Non-public seeds come from a committee. Our formula follows its rule: head-to-head first, then common opponents, then Strength Index. Tonight's winner goes above the loser; the margin still moves both teams' Strength Index against everyone else.
If it ended today: Holy Spirit, No. 8 seed, hosts St. John Vianney. The week’s other results can move this too.
The margin
How the final score moves each team’s Strength Index. Holy Spirit is expected to win by 17.0, so it gains only by winning by more than that. Cedar Creek gains with any win.
