# Byron Nelson vs. Northwest Eaton Preview
Byron Nelson brings the slight edge in our model's eyes, favoring the Vikings by just 2 points in this district showdown, but don't sleep on the near coin-flip nature of this matchup. With a 55% home win probability, the algorithms are basically screaming "toss-up," which means Northwest Eaton has every reason to believe they can steal one on the road. The question for fans: do you trust the model's lean toward Byron Nelson, or do you fade it and back the Eagles to pull off the upset? Either way, this one figures to come down to the final possessions.
