Marist is the 88c favorite on Kalshi for its home opener against Franklin Pierce as of September 2, 2026, the softest chalk on the Friday college football slate and well short of the 99c and 100c that Purdue and Kansas carry over their visitors the same night. The gap is earned: Marist is a non-scholarship Pioneer League team that went 5-7 in 2025 and managed 160 total yards in a 22-21 opening loss at New Haven, while Franklin Pierce arrives as a Division II program off a 6-4 season, the best in its history. The board is Kalshi-only, carries roughly $1.9K in lifetime volume, and prices the moneyline only.
Marist hosts Franklin Pierce at 7:00 PM ET on Friday, September 4, 2026 at Tenney Stadium at Leonidoff Field in Poughkeepsie, New York, with the game streaming on ESPN+. Kalshi has Marist at 88c and Franklin Pierce at 15c as of September 2, 2026, and that is the softest favorite price on the entire Friday college football board. Purdue sits at 99c against Indiana State and Kansas at 100c against Long Island on the same night. The market is telling you this is a Division II visitor with a real pulse, not a paycheck game.
Marist is 0-1 after a 22-21 loss at New Haven on August 28, 2026, and the box score is the reason this board is priced at 88c instead of 97c. The Red Foxes gained 160 total yards and picked up six first downs in that game. Two of their three touchdowns came from the defense and special teams: Jordan Caldwell returned an interception 25 yards and Zach Garmont recovered a blocked punt in the end zone. The only offensive score was a 5-yard Sonny Mannino run, and Mannino finished 9-of-19 for 70 yards through the air. Kade Werner led the defense with 11 tackles, which is the honest signal from that night: the defense and the special teams kept a one-score game alive while the offense produced almost nothing.
Marist plays in the Pioneer Football League, the non-scholarship tier of FCS, and went 5-7 overall and 3-5 in league play in 2025 under Mike Willis, who is in his third season. That 2025 team beat New Haven 31-14 at home in the opener, so the one-point road loss to the same program a year later is a step backward against a common opponent rather than a fluke result.
Franklin Pierce is the more interesting side of this board. The Ravens play in the Northeast-10 at the NCAA Division II level, they only started football in 2019, and they went 6-4 overall and 5-2 in conference play in 2025 under Russell Gaskamp, the best season the program has had. Defensive lineman Geno Facchetti was named Northeast-10 Defensive Player of the Year that season, the first Raven to win the award. Franklin Pierce is 0-0 and this is its season opener, so there is no 2026 film on the Ravens at all.
The two Kalshi legs sum to 103c, which is the two-sided book vig on a thin market. Stripping it out puts Marist at roughly 85% and Franklin Pierce at roughly 15% to win outright. For context, a straight Division II team visiting a scholarship FCS program usually prices closer to 95%. The discount here is the combination of Marist being non-scholarship, Marist averaging 160 yards of offense in its only 2026 data point, and Franklin Pierce carrying a winning record into the trip.
The board is Kalshi-only. There is no Polymarket leg on either side, so nothing on this page is a cross-platform consensus and there is no cross-book spread to read. Kalshi also lists moneyline only on this game: no spread, no total, no team totals. Lifetime volume across both legs is roughly $1.9K, with about $1.2K on the Marist side and about $744 on Franklin Pierce, which is retail-scale money and part of why the price is looser than the market's read on the same-night power-conference boards.
The board carries no intraday snapshot history yet as of September 2, 2026, so there is no open-to-now movement to report on either leg. Any claim about this line holding flat or drifting would be invented. Check the live board above for the current number closer to kickoff.
The market resolves on the outcome of the game itself on Friday, September 4, 2026, with a 7:00 PM ET kickoff at Tenney Stadium in Poughkeepsie. The winning team's contract pays $1 per share and the losing team's contract goes to $0. Overtime counts, since college football has no ties. Settlement follows the official final score, and Kalshi typically closes the market within hours of the final whistle. If the game is postponed or canceled, Kalshi settles under its own event rules for the college football series rather than automatically voiding on the scheduled date.
The rest of the Friday night slate prices its FCS and lower-division visitors far more harshly: see Indiana State at Purdue at 99c and Long Island at Kansas at 100c, both boards carrying more than 20 times this game's volume. The night's marquee board is Miami at Stanford, which trades close to $200K. Full cross-platform coverage of the week lives on the NCAA football hub, and every game trading tonight is listed on today's board.
The market resolves to the team that wins the Franklin Pierce at Marist game on Friday, September 4, 2026, scheduled for 7:00 PM ET at Tenney Stadium at Leonidoff Field in Poughkeepsie, New York. The winning team's contract pays $1 per share and the losing team's contract settles at $0. College football plays overtime rather than ties, so a winner is always determined once the game is completed. Settlement follows the official final score and Kalshi typically closes the market within hours of the final whistle. If the game is postponed or canceled, Kalshi settles under its own event rules for the college football series rather than automatically voiding on the originally scheduled date.
As of September 2, 2026, Kalshi has Marist at 88c and Franklin Pierce at 15c on the moneyline. The two legs sum to 103c, so after removing the book's vig Marist is about 85% to win and Franklin Pierce about 15%.
Kalshi only. There is no Polymarket leg on either side of this game, so the board is single-platform and carries roughly $1.9K in lifetime volume across the two moneyline contracts.
Marist is favored at home in its 2026 home opener. The Red Foxes went 5-7 in 2025 in the Pioneer Football League, while Franklin Pierce is a Northeast-10 Division II program that went 6-4 in 2025, the best record in its program history.
It resolves on the final score of the game, which kicks off at 7:00 PM ET on Friday, September 4, 2026 at Tenney Stadium in Poughkeepsie, New York. The stream is on ESPN+ and Kalshi normally settles within hours of the final whistle.
Watch whether Marist's offense improves on the 160 total yards it gained at New Haven on August 28, 2026. Franklin Pierce has no 2026 film at all since this is its opener, so the first live look at the Ravens is the biggest source of in-game price movement on a board this thin.
