# Idalou at Shallowater, Non-District Showdown The algorithm likes Shallowater in this one, but only barely, with the Mustangs favored by a field goal in what the model pegs as a genuine toss-up. Idalou comes in looking to prove it belongs in this conversation, while Shallowater will lean on home-field advantage to edge out a tight result. The model gives the Mustangs a 55% win probability, which means this game could flip either way, so the real question is whether you trust the computer or ride with your gut. Either way, this non-district matchup has all the makings of a Friday night thriller.
