Robert Morris Colonials vs Central Connecticut Blue Devils Predictions

Central Connecticut brings the stronger form

Central Connecticut hosts Robert Morris at noon ET Saturday at Arute Field. Robert Morris University Athletics lists the Blue Devils at 4-3 overall and 3-0 in the NEC, while the Colonials are 4-4 and 2-1 in conference play.

The Blue Devils beat New Haven 42-20 last week and have scored at least 40 points in four straight games. Quarterback Brett Griffis has thrown for 1,058 yards and 13 touchdowns with six interceptions in seven appearances. Central Connecticut has also won the past five meetings in the series.

SPF prices Central Connecticut as a 10-point favorite and -391 on the moneyline. Robert Morris is +10 and +290, with the total at 57.5. The Blue Devils’ recent scoring makes them the likelier winner, but the price demands more than a straight-up victory.

Robert Morris can challenge the spread

Robert Morris beat Mercyhurst 28-14 last week while forcing four turnovers, recording four sacks and allowing 88 rushing yards. Linebacker Jake Lopinto made 11 tackles and intercepted two passes, giving him 73 tackles and three interceptions this season.

Quarterback Carson Haggard completed 18 of 32 passes for 242 yards in that win. That production and the Colonials’ defensive pressure offer a plausible way to stay within 10 points, though one strong performance against Mercyhurst doesn’t establish a reliable trend.

Betting outlook

Wise Guy Team, a betting-analysis site, reported that Robert Morris received 59% of the traded money in a Kalshi exchange market. The sample was only 154 trades and $989, and it wasn’t a sportsbook ticket split or a market-wide measure.

Central Connecticut should win, but laying 10 points or paying -391 is difficult to justify without confirmed injury, lineup, weather or line-movement information. The best betting lean is Pass.
