Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders vs Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 10/22/25

It’s been a trying season for the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders. They head to Newark, DE for the first-ever matchup with the Delaware Blue Hens in a Conference USA game at Delaware Stadium looking to keep their bleak hopes of a bowl game alive. It’s technically possible, even at 1-5, but MTSU needs to get going now. While the Blue Raiders have the dismal record, three of the past four games are one-score games, with Middle Tennessee going 1-2 SU in those games. It had a 14-13 win at Nevada back on Sept. 13 for the only victory. It is coming off a narrow, gut-wrenching 22-20 loss to Missouri State, which could have turned things around significantly. The Under has cashed in the past two games, and the defense isn’t that bad allowing 24 or fewer points in three of the past four.

For Delaware, it is .500 at 3-3, and just 1-2 inside the conference. It is transitioning to FBS, but if it qualifies with six wins, and there are not enough bowl-eligible teams, it is possible they could still go bowling. The Blue Hens have lost consecutive games to Western Kentucky and Jacksonville State, two of the better teams in C-USA. The Under is 2-1 in the past three games, and 4-2 in six games overall. This won’t be a defensive slog in Delaware, but 55 is an awfully high number, especially given Middle’s lack of offense, and above-average D.

Under 55 (-110) at time of publishing. Playable to 53.
