Delaware Blue Hens vs Middle Tenn. St. Blue Raiders Predictions October 13, 2026
Middle Tenn. St. Blue Raiders will beat the Delaware Blue Hens 24-21 in our forecast for October 13. Middle Tennessee's early rushing production and receiving options offer a slight edge against Delaware's disruptive pass rush. That edge is fragile because the Blue Raiders' statistics predate their October 3 game. Neither the supplied spread nor total offers enough value for an actionable wager.
Delaware Blue Hens vs Middle Tenn. St. Blue Raiders prediction and best bet
Middle Tennessee is the pick to win, but the official betting recommendation is Pass. Antonio Martin Jr.'s early rushing results and Cam Lacy's receiving production give the Blue Raiders a plausible route to controlling possessions. The forecast favors that combination narrowly, with low confidence.
Delaware's pass rush is the strongest counterweight. Its production makes it risky to assume Middle Tennessee will sustain drives simply because its offensive contributors have useful early numbers. A projected three-point victory points toward the favorite, but that small margin leaves little room for error when evaluating Middle Tennessee -1.5 (-111).
