The clearest separator is scoring: Union enters at 26.2 points per game compared with 15.6 for Hermann. Union also allows 9.2 fewer points per game, giving MOFO an edge on both sides of the ball.
Strength of schedule checks in at -7.4 for Union and -1.8 for Hermann. Venue order is unverified, so no home-field advantage was applied. Because this read uses current-season results, the confidence remains low.
01Union owns the stronger scoring profile.

03A 29.6-point power-rating gap and no home-field adjustment because venue order is unverified shape the final call.
