I’m leaning towards Delaware State here. Alabama State’s been able to win at home in their few opportunities there this season, but Delaware State’s found some momentum as of late and that’s been a rarity for DSU in recent years. I think Delaware State will keep it going and get the win and cover on the road here. Give me Delaware State.
