Downers Grove North at No. 15 Hinsdale Central, 12 p.m.

EDGY's Take: Downers Grove North (2-1, 1-0), coached by John Wander, will look to get the running game going with quarterback Jack Carr and running back Drew Shelly. The Trojans will want to control time of possession. Hinsdale Central (2-1/1-0) will rely on its passing game, led by quarterback Matt Rush. He will have several targets including senior tight end Matt Bjorson (Indiana) and wide receiver Garrett Oakey. Can the Hinsdale Central defense get the football away from the power-running Downers Grove North offense?

EDGY's Pick: Hinsdale Central 27, Downers Grove North 14

Shepard at Reavis, 1 p.m.

EDGY's Take: Shepard (2-1, 0-1) is looking to bounce back after a tough 27-21 Week 3 loss to rival Richards. The Astros will also be missing a handful of key players this week. Reavis and head coach Tim Zasada have won two straight games after a Week 1 loss to Hammond. Can Shepard rally the troops this week and have some new faces step up?

EDGY's Pick: Shepard 29, Reavis 21

Other Saturday Games of Note

DePaul Prep at No. 17 Mount Carmel -- Both of these teams are trying to bounce back after Week 3 losses.
