# Cross Plains at Albany, District Matchup
Albany brings the heat at home with a 78% win probability in our model's eyes, favoring the Lions by a full 10 points in this district showdown. Cross Plains will have to execute a near-perfect game to pull off the upset on the road, but high school football thrives on chaos and Friday night surprises. Our algorithm says ride with Albany, but every team that steps onto that field has a puncher's chance, so don't sleep on what the Buffaloes might cook up.
