Boyd will lose and Raylan will make it.

Despite his flaws, Raylan Givens is a white hat at heart, a law man.

Bad guys are idiots in Elmore's world. Boyd is smarter than most of them but still makes many mistakes, as proved this season, and will be outsmarted by the law men eventually.

Yes, Raylan will in the end overcome Boyd.

But at the same time I think they are setting up Raylan for a fall from 'federal' grace. That is his days as a US Marshall are numbered.

I keep thinking about the end of last season: "You'll never leave Harlan alive."

I have this crazy idea that the ultimate struggle between Rayland and Boyd (with Wynn Duffy perhaps) will somehow involve other transgression by Raylan which will get him booted out of the Marshall's Service. I tend to think that the show will end with Raylan as the Sheriff of Harlan.

On the other hand, maybe the idea is for Raylan to get out of Harlan alive. One of the two is going to happen. He overcomes the big obstacle - Boyd - but in doing so is brought down and remains in Harlan; or Raylan is exalted. Or both.

The realist in me believes that Raylan has to be brought down in some respect; but at the same time becoming a 'justified ruler' in another. That is where I think becoming the Sheriff of Harlan comes in .
