Delaware vs Middle Tennessee Prediction


Both teams have had tough schedules and stepped up in competition, so it’s hard to judge where these teams rank overall. With that said, Delaware has shown more signs of life, particularly on the offensive side, and it took care of business against Coastal Carolina and Merrimack, the two teams it was favored against. Middle Tennessee has been dreadful on both sides of the ball, and that includes no offense to speak of and a run defense that’s 133rd in the country. Delaware isn’t a world beater, but Middle Tennessee has thrown its hat in the ring for worst team in college football. I’ll lay the small number with Delaware.
