Delaware relies on Silver to keep the run game steady, but McIvor’s consistency gives the Hilltoppers the advantage in this matchup. If Western Kentucky protects the quarterback, its passing game should be enough to win on the road. Final Score Prediction: Western Kentucky wins and covers ATS 33-21.
