Pick
I’m really not looking to back either of these teams if I’m being completely honest, but the thing here is that while both teams are struggling, it’s been Delaware State that’s been able to get the job done against teams on their level, beating the likes of Morgan State and these same Bulldogs in the first meeting. The Bulldogs have also won just once in 19 road games this season and in a pick ‘em, even against Delaware State, it makes the Bulldogs hard to back here. Give me Delaware State here.
