# Buffalo at Iola, 2026
Buffalo rolls into Iola as a slight favorite in this non-district matchup, with our model giving the visitors just a one-point edge in what projects as a genuine toss-up. The prediction leans Buffalo, but barely, with Iola sitting right at that 49 percent win probability that should have home fans feeling plenty of hope. This is the kind of game where the model hedges hard, so you've got to ask yourself: do you trust the algorithm's cautious lean toward Buffalo, or do you fade it and ride with Iola's home-field advantage? Either way, expect a tight one.
