Hempstead 55%45% Palacios
# Hempstead Hosts Palacios in District Showdown The model likes Hempstead by a field goal in this district tilt, giving the Bobcats a razor-thin 55% home-win probability. That's basically a coin flip with a slight lean toward the hosts, which means Vegas wouldn't touch this one either. So the question for fans is simple: do you trust the algorithm's marginal edge, or do you think Palacios has enough to steal one on the road? Either way, expect a tight contest that could come down to the final possession.
