Schedule gap aside, Lindsey Wilson still favored over Georgetown KY

Strength of schedule is what truly separates these two Mid-South Conference teams, more than their rankings suggest. Georgetown KY has played the 9th toughest schedule in NAIA, while Lindsey Wilson sits at just 50th, even though the Blue Raiders carry the better overall grade, an A to the Tigers' A-, and hold the higher divisional rank, 11th to Georgetown KY's 16th.

Versus projects Lindsey Wilson to win at home, 31-21, with a 72 percent chance of victory against Georgetown KY's 28 percent. The ten-point margin lines up with Lindsey Wilson's A offensive grade and 13th ranked attack in NAIA, set against a Georgetown KY defense that still earns an A- of its own despite sitting 18th nationally in that category.

Lindsey Wilson, now 5-1, brings a nine-game home winning streak into the matchup, a run that has held up against conference competition before. Georgetown KY arrives having made the biggest jump of its season, climbing 13 spots to No. 16 in the Versus NAIA rankings, and the Tigers have now posted a winning record in seven straight seasons. As a Mid-South Conference game, Saturday's result will count directly in the standings for both sides.
