# Riviera-Kaufer at Pettus, 2026
Pettus gets the nod from our prediction model in this non-district matchup, but just barely, a razor-thin 2-point spread with 55% home win probability that screams "toss-up." The model likes the Pettus advantage at home, though Riviera-Kaufer will have something to say about that narrative when they roll into town. So here's your question: do you trust the algorithm's slight lean toward the hosts, or do you fade it and back the visitors to prove the model wrong? Either way, this one figures to be decided by inches and late-game execution.
