Delaware St. Hornets vs Albany, N.Y. Great Danes Predictions October 3, 2026
Delaware St. Hornets will beat Albany, N.Y. Great Danes 24-21 in a low-confidence forecast. The strongest reason is Delaware State's 90-yard winning touchdown drive against Towson, while Albany enters after a shutout loss featuring three turnovers. Neither Delaware State +2.5 (-113) nor the 45.5 total at -127 offers a convincing betting edge. The official wager is Pass.
Delaware St. Hornets vs Albany, N.Y. Great Danes prediction and best bet
Delaware State gets the narrow call because its latest performance included a sustained touchdown drive with the game at stake. Against Towson on September 26, the Hornets answered a 28-27 deficit with an 11-play, 90-yard march and scored the winner with 42 seconds remaining. That finish earns a slight preference in this forecast.
Albany has a credible response: its 22-0 loss to Princeton came despite a 288-265 advantage in total yards. The shutout deserves attention, but so does the movement behind it. Neither result points to a comfortable advantage here. Delaware State is the predicted winner, while the best betting decision is Pass on both the spread and total.
