# Van Alstyne Hosts Ponder in District Showdown
The algorithm likes Van Alstyne by a field goal in this one, but don't sleep on the visitors, because our model is barely confident, giving the Panthers just a 55 percent home-win probability. This is as close to a coin flip as it gets, folks, meaning the contrarian play could pay off big if Ponder comes into Van Alstyne and steals one. So the question is simple: do you trust the math, or do you trust your gut?
