SC State vs Delaware State Prediction
I’m not excited to back SC State on the road, where it’s lost 16 times, but I’m not sure what Delaware State has done to be favored against anybody. Delaware State has six wins and is 7-16 ATS on the season. Delaware State has one win since Christmas and is arguably the worst offensive team in the country. Yes, SC State isn’t lighting the world on fire but we’re also not being asked to lay chalk there. If forced to pick between two terrible teams, I want the points. It’s SC State or pass. Delaware State shouldn’t be favored against five randoms from LA Fitness.
