# Newton at Franklin, 2026
Franklin comes home as a slight favorite in this non-district matchup, with our model giving the Lions a narrow 2-point edge and a 55% chance to win on their home field. It's essentially a coin flip, but the algorithm is backing the home team by the slimmest of margins. The question for fans: do you trust the model's slight lean toward Franklin, or do you think Newton has what it takes to steal one on the road? Either way, this one figures to come down to the final possession.
