# Van at Center, Non-District Showdown
The algorithm likes Center in this one, picking the Roughriders by a deuce in what our model pegs as a genuine toss-up at 55 percent home win probability. Van's making the trip to Shelby County looking to prove it belongs in this conversation, but the computers see enough in Center's home-field advantage to lean that direction. It's close enough that you could make a case either way, so the real question is whether you trust the model or trust your gut on Friday night.
