# Galveston Ball at Lufkin, District Matchup
The algorithm likes Lufkin by a field goal in this district showdown, giving the Panthers a 55% chance to take care of business at home. Ball is making the trek to deep East Texas as a legitimate threat, though, and this one has all the makings of a coin flip that could go either way. Our model says ride with the home team, but don't be shocked if the Galveston faithful leave feeling robbed, because this feels like the kind of game where the underdog bites back. The question for you: do you trust the numbers, or do you trust your gut?
