Neither Ray Brewer nor Case Keefer has picked the Henderson Bowl incorrectly over the past two seasons.
One of the two Las Vegas Sun sports editors will have to be off with their prediction in the 2015 edition of one of the valley’s biggest rivalries. Basic (4-1) travels to Green Valley (2-3) as the favorite, but someone is calling for an upset.
Look below to find out who sides with the Gators and who stuck with the Wolves along with picks on all of the local games this week.
