NEWARK, Del. – The best bets for Wednesday night's Conference USA doubleheader feature Delaware's dominant passing attack against a vulnerable Middle Tennessee defense, followed by New Mexico State's home-field advantage against a Missouri State team dealing with quarterback uncertainty.
Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders vs Delaware Blue Hens
Delaware averages 28.8 points per game behind quarterback Nick Minicucci, who has thrown for 1,801 yards with a 9/3 touchdown-to-interception ratio. The Blue Hens rank sixth nationally in passing yards, while Middle Tennessee's defense ranks 129th in yards per pass attempt allowed.
This spread at -110 odds combines Delaware's offensive firepower with Middle Tennessee's defensive struggles as the Blue Raiders arrive with a 1-5 record.
Best Prop Bets For Blue Raiders vs Blue Hens
- Spread: Delaware -8.5 at -110
- Half Time/Full Time-REG: Delaware/Delaware-REG at -162
With the Blue Hens averaging nearly 12 more points per game than their opponents, this matchup should favor the home team throughout at legal sports betting sites. Middle Tennessee has lost four of five games this season and consistently played from behind, inflating their offensive production in late-game situations.
The Blue Hens demonstrated their ability to spread the ball effectively with six receivers recording at least 14 catches this season. The half-time/full-time wager at -162 odds reflects confidence Delaware will control both periods. Those interested in college football prop bets should note the Blue Raiders' three-game losing streak against Delaware's balanced offensive attack.
Missouri State Bears vs New Mexico State Aggies
With -110 odds from Bovada, New Mexico State's undefeated 3-0 home record and Missouri State's quarterback instability present advantageous betting options. While Logan Fife, the quarterback for New Mexico State, has passed for 1,512 yards with an 8/4 touchdown-to-interception ratio, Missouri State averages 21.7 points per game while giving up 29.7.
Best Prop Bets For Bears vs Aggies
- Spread: New Mexico State +2.0 at -110
- Total: Over 52.0 at -110
The Aggies have won all three of their games at Aggie Memorial Stadium this season, proving their strength at home. Meanwhile, Missouri State is facing quarterback uncertainty as starter Jacob Clark is doubtful. With 394.8 yards allowed per game, the Bears' defense is ranked 104th in the country.
At home against the Bears, who have a poor road defense, New Mexico State should have enough quarterback consistency to cover the +2.0 spread at -110 odds. Given Missouri State's defensive shortcomings throughout the season, the over at -110 odds makes sense.
