# Blanket at Sidney, 2026
Sidney's home field advantage gives them a razor-thin edge in this non-district matchup, with our model calling a 2-point Longhorns victory and giving the hosts a 55% win probability. It's essentially a coin flip, which means Blanket has every reason to believe they can steal this one on the road. The question for fans: do you trust the algorithm's slight lean toward Sidney, or do you fade it and back the visitors to pull off the upset? Either way, this one figures to come down to the final possession.
