# Odem at Taft, Non-District Showdown The algorithm likes Odem by a hair in this toss-up, but don't sleep on Taft's home-field edge, which nearly cancels out the visitor's slight edge. Our model gives the Jaybirds a 51-49 advantage, the kind of coin-flip scenario where conventional wisdom says respect the home crowd. Will you trust the math or back the Antelope faithful to steal one at home? Either way, this non-district clash has all the makings of a Friday night sweat.
