# Hardin Edges Kountze in District Showdown
Our prediction model likes Hardin by a field goal in this district matchup, giving the home team a 55% win probability, but frankly, that's basically a coin flip with a slight lean. Kountze will travel to Hardin looking to prove this one's wide open, and you could make a legitimate case either way. The question for fans: do you trust the algorithm's razor-thin edge for the home team, or do you fade it and back the visitor? Either way, this one figures to come down to the final possession.
