Delaware State +31 over Delaware

Delaware Stadium – Newark, DE

7:00 PM ET. This one sets up nicely. Delaware is making the jump to FBS, joining Conference USA, and they’re being priced here like they’ve already arrived. They’ve never lost to Delaware State (11-0 all-time), and the gap in program stature is baked into the line. That’s exactly the problem.

For the Hornets, this is everything. Their Super Bowl, their arch rival, their chance to bloody the nose of the new FBS kid on the block. For the Blue Hens, this is a formality. Colorado looms next week, in Boulder, on national TV. That’s where Delaware will be judged, not here. Classic lookahead.

A number like -31 leaves the back door swinging wide open. Even if Delaware controls the game, one or two garbage-time drives is all it takes for the Hornets to slip inside the margin. Rivalry game, inflated spread, distracted favorite. That’s our cue.

Take advantage of BET365's early MLB payout offer! 

For straight bets, if the team you back to win goes 5 runs ahead at any stage during the game, BET365 will pay out your bet in full regardless of whether the opposition comes back to win the game.

For parlays and Same Game Parlays, if a team you have backed goes 5 runs ahead, this selection will be marked as won within My Bets, with the remaining selections left to run.

Here is a wager we were paid out early on that would eventually lose.
