Week 5 PFA Preview-Clash of the Titans-One will Fall.
Detroit Ravens (4-0) vs Racine Raiders (4-0)
In what promises to be the game of the year, the undefeated Racine Raiders (4-0) face off against the equally dominant Detroit Ravens (4-0) in a matchup fans have been waiting for. The last time these two powerhouse programs met, the Ravens walked away victorious, sparking a historic run that was only halted in last year’s championship by the Motor City Rams. Labeling 2025 as their “revenge tour,” the Ravens have bulldozed through every opponent so far—but this will be their toughest test yet.
The Raiders, ranked #1 nationally in most polls, are riding an incredible 31-game winning streak that stretches back nearly three years—eerily similar to the Ravens’ own streak that ended in 2024. This battle could come down to the final possession, but signs of vulnerability have begun to show in the Raiders’ seemingly impenetrable armor. If the Ravens can exploit those weaknesses, they’ll be the ones to finally snap the streak.
Prediction: Ravens 35, Raiders 24.

Motor City Rams (4-0) vs Calvary Knights.
Motor City Rams Look to Dominate in Cross-League Showdown
The Motor City Rams (4-0) are off to a scorching start in 2025, anchored by one of the most suffocating defenses in the nation. Holding opponents to minimal—if any—points, the reigning champs have picked up right where they left off and now set their sights on the Calvary Knights in a highly anticipated cross-league matchup. While the Knights have had flashes of promise this season, they’re stepping into a different tier of competition against a Rams squad that’s firing on all cylinders. It’s clear the Knights are building something, but the Rams are already there—and they’re not letting up.
Prediction: Rams roll, 35-6.
Indy Bison (4-) vs Michigan Bills (1-3)
Bison Look to Stay Perfect as Struggling Bills Come to Town
After a well-earned bye in Week 4, the undefeated Indy Bison (4-0) return to action this weekend, hosting the Michigan Bills (1-3) in a pivotal 3A matchup. Led by the explosive duo of Montrez Hearon and Corey Bridges, the Bison have been an offensive juggernaut this season and aim to push their record to 5-0 as they continue to chase the Detroit Ravens for the top spot in the division.
The Bills, once seen as a serious contender for a top-three finish in 3A, have stumbled with three straight losses and are desperate to turn things around. While Michigan is looking to regain momentum, the Bison’s firepower and rhythm—even after a week off—will likely prove too much to handle. Expect the Bills to make it competitive early, but Indy pulls away late to remain unbeaten.
Prediction: Bison 35, Bills 24.
Lima Warriors (1-3) vs Tri State Longhorns
Warriors Aim to Turn the Corner Against Longhorns
The Lima Warriors (1-3) may not have the record to show for it, but they’re just a few pieces away from turning potential into results. With a talented roster that’s struggled to fully click, Lima has the opportunity to get back on track this weekend against the Tri State Longhorns. A win would bring the Warriors to a 2-3 record and put them on a path toward playoff contention—if they can come out swinging and play with urgency.
The Longhorns got the better of Lima in their last meeting and will look to repeat that success. But this time around, the Warriors are desperate and hungry to make a statement. If they can finally put all the pieces together, this could be the breakout game they’ve been waiting for.
Prediction: Warriors dominate, 30-6.
Hawks Look to Soar Past Bears in In-State Battle
The Cincinnati Hawks (3-1) have been on a tear since their early loss to Indy, rattling off three straight wins in dominant fashion. With momentum on their side and a ruthless approach on both sides of the ball, the Hawks have shown they’re not just winning—they’re making statements. This week, they host the Ohio Bears in what looks to be another showcase of their growing dominance.
While the Bears will look to put up a fight, the firepower and aggression the Hawks bring to the field may simply be too much. With their talons out and sights set on climbing the ranks, Cincinnati is poised for another convincing victory.
Prediction: Hawks soar, 40-6.
