# Texas City at Houston Yates Preview Our model likes Texas City by a bucket in this non-district matchup, but barely, with the Lions favoring the visitors by just one point in what projects as a true toss-up. Houston Yates gets a 49% win probability at home, meaning the algorithm is essentially saying flip a coin, which should make you wonder if you're better off trusting the computer or your gut. The real question: do you have the guts to fade the model when it's this uncertain, or do you ride with Texas City's razor-thin edge? Either way, this one figures to come down to the wire.
