Delaware vs Western Kentucky Prediction
Western Kentucky comes into this matchup after winning three of their last four games and they have allowed 13 points or fewer in all three of those wins. The Hilltoppers have a dual threat quarterback that has been very good at protecting the football. Delaware snapped their losing streak last week and they have their starting QB back from injury. The Blue Hens have a solid offense, but they have allowed at least 30 points in four straight games. Take the over here, as Delaware continues to give up plenty of points.
