Brockport State's 29-point projection matches a five-game slide for Morrisville State

Versus projects a 41-12 result when Brockport State hosts Morrisville State, a 29-point margin that gives the Eagles a 95 percent win probability. That gap lines up with where the two sit in the Empire 8 and in Division III as a whole, with Brockport State graded A overall at 29th in the division and Morrisville State graded C and 150th.

The Mustangs have dropped five straight games and have lost five of their last six overall, going 0-5 across that stretch. An offensive rank of 128th and a defensive rank of 132nd in Division III explain why that run has been so lopsided, even though a strength of schedule rank of 34th shows the competition hasn't been easy.

Brockport State arrives with a power rating that has climbed in each of the last five weeks and a 5-1 record built in part on blowouts, with three of its six wins coming by 21 points or more. Graded A on both sides of the ball, the Eagles are favored to extend that pattern in an Empire 8 game that counts in the conference standings for both sides.
