Merrimack Warriors +30.5 on the Line (-110)
Odds available at MyBookie at time of publishing
I'm picking the Merrimack Warriors to cover the spread of 30.5 points against the Delaware Blue Hens. Our numbers show that Merrimack is a strong favorite, meaning they have a good chance to win this game. Delaware's defense has struggled lately, which could make it tough for them to keep up with Merrimack's offense. It might not be an easy win for Merrimack, but if they play well, they should be able to score enough to cover that spread. Just remember, anything can happen in sports, so this is a bit of a gamble! It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.09 if it lands. The number next to the team is the handicap, and that team's score is adjusted by it before the bet is settled. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model likes this one a lot. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
Merrimack Warriors to Win (+2400)

I'm picking the Merrimack Warriors to win against the Delaware Blue Hens. While Delaware is at home and has a strong team, Merrimack is viewed as a solid underdog in this matchup. Their offense has shown some spark, and if they can get going early, they might surprise everyone. It's definitely a long shot, but at those odds, it could be worth a small bet for some fun. Just remember, anything can happen in college football, so keep your expectations in check! It was priced at +2400 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $250 if it lands.

Under 56.5 Total Points (-110)
Odds available at FanDuel at time of publishing
In the game between the Delaware Blue Hens and the Merrimack Warriors, I like the bet on the total points being under 56.5. Both teams have solid defenses that can slow down scoring. Our numbers suggest they might only combine for about 50 points, which gives us a good chance for this bet to hit. While anything can happen in a game, it seems likely that this matchup won't be a high-scoring affair, so under 56.5 could be a smart play. Just remember, there's no guarantee, but it looks promising! It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.09 if it lands. The bookmakers have this as a slight favourite. Our model leans this way without loving it. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
That is how our model reads Delaware Blue Hens v Merrimack Warriors. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
