Massey alters predicted scores, calls for slim Jackson Northwest win over Owosso
Massey Ratings has updated its website and plugged in the scores of the first two games for Jackson Northwest and Owosso.
As expected, that data has changed the computer's predicted score of Friday night's matchup.
It still calls for a Northwest win, but only by a 2-point margin: 27-25.
Here's the link.
I haven't seen either team play but based on stories I've read and scores I've seen, the game is shaping up to be a tight one.
I think a lot will ride on how well the Northwest players can shake off the long bus ride and get pumped up to play.
My prediction: Northwest 20, Owosso 16.
Feel free to post your own prediction in the comment spot below.

Owosso has a senior quarterback, veteran receivers
Owosso's quarterback, Garrett Barnes, is a senior who threw for more than 1,200 yards last season, according to the 2010 season preview in the Lansing State Journal.
Read it here.
The Trojans also return a pair of receivers who earned all-league selections a year ago, according to the LSJ.
But Owosso has a new coach and planned to switch from the spread offense to an I-formation set up, according to a preview in the Flint Journal.

New Owosso coach hopes to turn around football program
Owosso has finished 1-8 in each of its past four seasons.
Unfortunately for the Jackson Northwest Mounties, the Trojans' lone win last season was against them.
Owosso won its first game of 2010 and is currently 1-1 as Northwest heads to town Friday.
Owosso coach Tom Harkema is in his first season with the team. It is his second stint, though.
He previously coached Owosso for 11 seasons (1988-98), going 50-49 in that span.
Here's a Flint Journal story on him from August.

Massey Ratings predicts Jackson Northwest will beat Owosso
The Massey Ratings computer is predicting that the Jackson Northwest Mounties will beat Owosso on Friday by a score of 25-16.
Here's the website.
However, it looks like the scores of the Mounties' first two games have not yet been entered into the season. So it's possible the computer is simply going off of last year's information.
I'll be checking it again later in the week to see if the prediction changes.

Owosso, the Mounties' next opponent, is 1-1
A tough Mason squad beat Owosso 49-17 on Thursday night.
Owosso won its season opener, 24-21, over Corunna, leaving the Trojans 1-1 going into next week's game hosting the Jackson Northwest Mounties.
As the Jackson Citizen Patriot has previously reported, Northwest is undermanned this year.
But Owosso is a very beatable team and represents one of the Mounties' better chances to post a "W" this season.
Northwest slipped to Owosso by a point last year, 21-20, after beating them in the two previous outings.
Looking ahead, if Northwest could beat Owosso, the following week the team will face an improved-but-still-beatable Belleville squad for homecoming.
After that, they'll have tough games against Lansing Sexton and Mason in weeks 5 and 6.
But the final three games -- Lansing Waverly, Jackson High and Western -- are all winnable.
As odd as it may sound, after the Mounties started the season 0-2 (and losing those games by a combine score of 27-83) it's not just happy-talk to say that it's conceivable the team could eek out a winning record.
