# El Paso Immanuel Baptist at Marfa
El Paso Immanuel Baptist heads to the Permian Basin as a slight favorite in this non-district matchup, but our model is barely confident enough to back them, predicting a three-point victory with Marfa sitting right on the edge at 39% to pull off the home upset. This is a classic fade-the-model spot, the kind of toss-up where the home-field advantage in West Texas could easily tip the scales for the Mustangs. Immanuel Baptist will need to execute cleanly on the road against a Marfa squad that figures to be hungry in their own house. The smart money says this one comes down to whoever handles the pressure better in the fourth quarter.
