Delaware State Hornets vs UAlbany Great Danes Predictions

UAlbany’s narrow edge

SportsPicksForum lists UAlbany at -136 on the moneyline and -2.5 on the spread, but the available team data points to a close game. The University at Albany Great Danes’ official preview reports that UAlbany averages 171.2 rushing yards per game and more than 33 minutes of possession, giving the home team a way to control the pace.

Running back Joey Koch has gained 308 yards on 46 carries, an average of 6.7 yards per attempt. Quarterback Kai Colón has thrown for 728 yards and six touchdowns. That production makes UAlbany the likelier winner, but it doesn’t establish a clear advantage at the listed price.

Why Delaware State is dangerous

Delaware State averages 384.4 yards and 25.4 points per game, including 172.2 rushing yards and 212.2 passing yards. Quarterback Ui Ale has thrown for 972 yards and leads the Hornets with 239 rushing yards, so UAlbany must account for him on both designed passes and runs.

The Hornets have recorded 13 sacks and 32 tackles for loss through five games. That pressure could disrupt a UAlbany offense that benefits from staying on schedule, but no starter or injury information is available to clarify either team’s personnel.

Betting outlook

Delaware State is +110 on the moneyline and +2.5 on the spread. The total is 45.5, with the over at -112 and the under at -110. UAlbany’s home field and rushing production justify a slight edge, but neither side offers enough verified separation for a wager. The missing personnel and weather information also rule out a responsible total play. Pass.
