# Coupland at Buckholts, 2026
The algorithm likes Coupland by three in this non-district matchup, but here's the thing: our model gives the home team nearly a 40% shot to pull the upset, which basically screams "toss-up." Both programs will have plenty of film to study and adjustments to make, so this one could easily flip on execution and momentum. Are you brave enough to trust the numbers, or do you fade the model and ride with your gut on Friday night?
