Delaware vs Sam Houston Pick
Sam Houston is terrible. The Bearkats can’t run the ball, they’re always behind the sticks, and they have just one win on the season — an absurdly improbable win where they were outgained 474 total yards to 157.
Delaware is having a decent season. The Hens are 5-4 overall, including 3-3 in CUSA, and have a pair of quality wins over UConn and Louisiana Tech. Their wins have aged nicely.
Quarterback Nick Minicucci continues to elevate his play and be a consistent leader in the clubhouse. He’s thrown for 740 total yards and five scores over the past two weeks.
While Delaware is technically not eligible, the Hens could still play in a bowl as long as they get to six wins and there’s a team that needs replacing — if they can’t field a whole team, for example.
With the Hens on the edge of that eligibility, I think we see a max effort from them on Saturday against a lousy Sam Houston team.
Pick: Delaware -9.5 or Better
