Stonehill's sturdier defense is the separator against Robert Morris
The clearest gap between these two sits on defense, where Stonehill's B- unit ranks 63rd in FCS compared to Robert Morris's C grade at 81st. Both offenses struggle equally, ranked 100th and 104th, so that defensive difference is likely to be the deciding factor in a game Versus projects as a near-even split, with Stonehill favored 21-20 and both sides carrying a 50 percent win probability.
A shared result from earlier this season backs up the gap. Both teams played New Haven, and Stonehill won that game by 18 points while Robert Morris lost by 11. Stonehill also sits 9 spots ahead of Robert Morris in the FCS divisional rankings, at 94th against 103rd, and Versus lists Stonehill as the No. 2 team in the Northeast Conference entering this one.
Robert Morris enters with its own momentum after beating Duquesne for the first time since November 2019, and the Colonials also own the most recent meeting between these two, a 20-17 win in November 2025. This is a Northeast Conference game and it counts in the standings, with Stonehill at 4-6 and Robert Morris at 5-5 looking to close the season on the right side of a tight conference race.
