# Lake Belton at Killeen Ellison, 2026
Lake Belton rolls into Ellison's house as a slight favorite in this non-district matchup, but here's the thing: our model is basically shrugging, giving the Coyotes just a 1-point edge in what it sees as a true toss-up. Ellison's home-field advantage keeps this one tight at 48 percent win probability for the hosts, which means the smart money might be fading the chalk and looking for value. If you're a Lake Belton backer, you're betting on a razor-thin margin, but if you think Ellison can lean on their crowd and make this a slugfest at home, the model's uncertainty gives you room to work with.
