# Meridian Looks to Slip Past Malakoff Cross Roads in Non-District Showdown
Our model gives Meridian a razor-thin edge in this one, favoring the home squad by just 2 points with a 55% win probability, but that's basically a coin flip wearing a lab coat. Malakoff Cross Roads will travel to Meridian with every reason to believe they can steal this game, and bettors should think twice before trusting the algorithm on such a tight matchup. This has all the makings of a classic non-district battle where execution and momentum matter more than any preseason projection. Will the model's slight Meridian lean hold up, or do the road warriors have a statement win brewing?
