# Cross Plains Hosts Baird in Non-District Showdown
The algorithm likes Cross Plains by a field goal in this non-district matchup, giving the home team a 61% win probability in what projects as a tight contest. Cross Plains gets the benefit of home-field advantage in our model's eyes, but this one has toss-up written all over it, so don't be shocked if Baird comes to play and keeps things close. The question for fans: do you trust the slight lean toward the hosts, or do you fade the model and back the visitors? Either way, expect a competitive battle between two teams looking to make noise outside of district play.
