Delaware State vs North Carolina Central Prediction
The North Carolina Central Eagles are the more talented team and should be favored, but they’ve also lost three times at home. NC Central doesn’t play much defense, and it makes it tough to back the Eagles in their favorite role. The Delaware State Hornets have been in endless close games this season, and while they don’t win many, they do cash tickets. Delaware State has covered eight of its last 10 games. Delaware State also upset Loyola Maryland, Grambling, Alabama State, and South Carolina State. The Delaware State Hornets are thriving in the underdog role lately and North Carolina Central isn’t a world-beater. Give me the points with the Hornets on the road.
