# Center vs. Malakoff: Can the Model Pick the Upset?
The prediction algorithm likes Center by a hair in this non-district matchup, but don't sleep on what could be a classic toss-up scenario. Our model gives the home team just a 49% win probability, which is basically saying flip a coin and call it in the air. Malakoff will have every reason to believe they can steal one on the road, while Center's razor-thin edge suggests this game could go either way. The question for fans: trust the model's lean toward Center, or fade it entirely and back the road team?
