Delaware vs Sam Houston State Prediction
Delaware is obviously the better team and should win as it becomes bowl eligible with a victory. Sam Houston State won a game last week. Congrats. Throw a parade. I’m looking at the over in this spot. Delaware is 101st in total defense and 114th in scoring defense. Sam Houston State is 136th in total defense and 133rd in scoring defense. Too good to be true? Maybe. But these are two of the worst defensive teams in the country. I expect points. Give me the over instead of getting involved with a big number and a road team.
