Carroll WI looks to snap Carthage's series edge

Carthage has owned this series, leading it 7-3 across ten meetings since 2007 and winning seven of the last ten against Carroll WI. Versus's model sees this week breaking that pattern, though, projecting the Pioneers to take control in a College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin matchup between two Division III programs.

Carroll WI comes in at 2-1 and ranked 78th in D3, carrying a B overall grade built on a B+ defense and B offense, and its power grade of B+ reflects a 33-0 win over Elmhurst that was its most lopsided result since October 2025. Carthage sits 1-1 and 85th in D3, also graded B overall but with a C- offense and C power grade after being shut out for the first time since September 2025. Carthage's schedule has been tougher, ranking 46th in strength of schedule against Carroll WI's 128th, but that has not translated into the same recent form.

Versus projects Carroll WI to win 34-14, giving the Pioneers an 87 percent chance to take the game and a 20-point margin. A result along those lines would mark a sharp turn from the head-to-head history the two programs carry into this one.
