# Pawnee at Buckholts, 2026
Buckholts gets the nod in our model by a razor-thin two points, but don't mistake that margin for certainty, because this one screams toss-up at 55% home win probability. The algorithm says trust the home field advantage, yet we're talking about a non-district matchup where anything can happen and the eye test might tell a completely different story. So here's the question for Friday night: do you ride with the model's modest lean toward Buckholts, or do you fade it and back Pawnee to steal one on the road? Either way, this should be a competitive battle that comes down to execution in the fourth quarter.
