I'm usually pretty good at predicting UD point spreads, but I'm really not sure what it will or should be against the Leopards. I think we'll see something fairly significant, probably in the 10.5-12.5 range, but I could never take Delaware at that number. I'd make it more like 6.5-7.5. I guess we'll see come Saturday.

The last time I saw the Leopards in person, they were just awful - no athletes; nobody who scared you. Record-wise they've improved dramatically since then, but I watched them some against Lehigh, and I didn't see much of an upgrade in terms of overall talent. I feel like Delaware should be "better" all over the field, but I don't know if that will translate on the scoreboard. In some ways, it doesn't really matter, as the winner will lose by four touchdowns the following week, but I feel like the prospect of a trip to Missoula will be much more attractive to up-and-coming (sort of) Lafayette than it will to the used-to-be-relevant Hens, who are coming off a loss in the last meaningful game they could have won. Do you think we'll get 10,000 to show up? Prolly not, right?

7,500 in the building. They don’t pad announced numbers either in the playoffs so probably right around that

I really doubt the point spread will be double-digit.
I'm expecting 7.5 - 9.5, but could be lower

The problem with the prediction is that player injuries are not considered.

Will the AD & Prez be at the game, or will they be taking a paid VaCa in the Bahamas on UD’s dime?

“No injuries reported”? The 3rd string QB, would make this a “pick em”!

Not sure about the President, but the AD will be there.

Lol, this AD is most likely about to lead Delaware into the FBS (out of unpopular CAAFB) and she gets included in the suggestion that there'll be freeloading onto the MBB Bahamas MTE trip.

Chrissi should not even be in that sentence because Bean is right.

I appreciate it when the mods clean out the dopey posts.

Somebody should rake their leaves!

The obsession Hengrad has with Assanis and CR is rather odd.

Not sure if I'm going to be able to make it to the game. I see it's on ESPN+, is a subscription needed to watch it?
