I wouldn't completely write things off. Marion hasn't looked great in the preseason, but they also haven't run much of anything that I would expect them to run during regular season. They lost very little on-field talent from a team that didn't win a lot of games last year, but was very competitive in five out of their six losses. I do expect Chilhowie to win, but I feel like both teams strengths play into the other teams weaknesses, and there's potential for this be a really good game.
Many of the games in the past seemed one sided for one team or the other going into the game but ended up closer than people thought. That is the good thing about a rivalry.
