There’s not a ton of separation between these teams, and both meetings were competitive and split down the middle. However, you could argue the Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens are the better team here overall. Also, Delaware is a team I was high on since the start of the season, and they’ve been rather solid all year. In a near pick em spot, I’ll give the edge to the Blue Hens because of what they’ve done for me all year.
