Delaware Fightin Blue Hens Odds

Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens 2025 Season Preview

The 2024 Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens wrapped up their final FCS campaign with a strong season, highlighted by a playoff berth and steady improvement under head coach Ryan Carty. Now, Delaware makes the leap into the FBS ranks, joining Conference USA in 2025. It’s a major transition year, with the program looking to prove it can compete against tougher, faster, and deeper opponents on a weekly basis.

The Blue Hens are led by QB Ryan O’Connor and a veteran offensive line, while the defense returns several All-CAA caliber players ready to test themselves at the next level. Delaware opens the 2025 season against in-state rival Delaware State, but the true challenge will be navigating a full FBS slate for the first time in school history.

Delaware Point Spreads

“Covering the spread” refers to how much a team wins or loses by relative to the betting line.

Example:

• Delaware +7.5 (-110)
• Marshall -7.5 (-110)

If Delaware loses 28-24, they cover the spread (since they lost by fewer than 8 points). Marshall bettors would only cash if Marshall won by 8 or more.

Delaware Over/Unders

Totals bets are wagers on the combined score of a game.

If oddsmakers set Delaware vs. Old Dominion at O/U 52, and the final is 27-24 (51 points), the under wins. If it’s 35-24 (59 points), the over hits.

Delaware Moneylines

Moneylines are simply about who wins the game.

Example:

• Delaware +200 vs. Temple
• Temple -250

A $100 bet on Delaware would return $200 profit if the Blue Hens win outright. A Temple backer would need to risk $250 to profit $100.

Delaware Props

Player props (like QB passing yards or RB rushing TDs) can sometimes be found in FBS betting markets, though availability varies by state. Delaware’s top offensive playmakers could be featured once sportsbooks expand offerings.

Delaware Futures

For long-term wagers, Delaware’s Conference USA championship odds and season win total will be posted at sportsbooks. Futures also include props on awards (e.g., if a Blue Hen player makes a national impact) or milestones like bowl eligibility in their first FBS year.

The 2025 season marks a historic turning point for Delaware football. Bettors will be watching closely to see how the Blue Hens adjust to FBS competition — and whether they can pull off upsets that reward early believers.
