# Monahans Visits Shallowater in Toss-Up Thriller The model likes Monahans by a hair in this non-district matchup, but here's the thing: a one-point spread is basically the AI throwing up its hands and calling it even. Shallowater gets the home-field edge with 49 percent win probability, making this about as close to a coin flip as it gets. So the real question for fans becomes simple, ride with the slight Monahans lean or fade the model entirely and back the Canaries at home. Either way, expect a game decided in the final moments.
