# Manvel at Houston Lamar, Non-District Showdown Houston Lamar gets the nod in our model by a razor-thin two points, with the home crowd giving the Texans a slight 55% edge in what shapes up as a genuine toss-up. Manvel rolls into town as a program that's proven it can compete with anybody, and this non-district matchup has all the makings of a coin flip that could go either way. The question for fans: do you trust the algorithm's marginal lean toward Lamar's home-field advantage, or do you fade it and back a Manvel squad that rarely gets pushed around? Either way, this one screams must-watch Friday night football.
