Richmond and Howard both opened 2026 at 1-0 and meet at Greene Stadium in Washington on Saturday, September 5, with kickoff at 6:00 PM ET streaming on the MEAC Network. The board prices it as a mismatch, which the 2025 records support (Richmond 7-5 in the CAA, Howard 5-7 in the MEAC) and the head to head does not: these two played on September 27, 2025, and Richmond survived 13-12. This is a Kalshi-only board carrying roughly $787 in lifetime volume across two moneyline legs, with no Polymarket market and no spread or total posted. Current prices are on the live board above.
Richmond and Howard are both 1-0 and both a week removed from wins that told you something. The market has already decided which one mattered more, and the gap is wide: this is a heavy favorite board with a single tradeable market on it. What makes it worth a second look is not an upset case the prices support, because they do not. It is that these two teams played eleven months ago and the margin was one point.
Richmond opened the season on August 29 with a 35-14 win over Bucknell at Robins Stadium. Ashten Snelsire went 17 of 28 for 199 yards and 3 touchdowns, Aziz Foster-Powell carried 15 times for 108 yards and 2 touchdowns, and Bryce Allen caught 4 balls for 106 yards and 2 scores. Russ Huesman's team finished 7-5 in 2025, going 7-4 against FCS opposition with a 41-6 loss at North Carolina in the money game and a 21-14 loss at Lehigh in the opener. The 2026 schedule sends the Spiders to NC State on September 11, so this Howard trip is the middle leg of a three-week stretch that ends in an FBS stadium.
Howard beat Alabama A&M 31-24 at Center Parc Stadium in Atlanta on the same Saturday. Quarterback Ja'Shawn Scroggins threw for 315 yards and 3 touchdowns on 19 of 36 passing and added 15 carries, and Semaj Pierre averaged 34 yards on his 2 catches. Ted White's team went 5-7 in 2025, beating Hampton 34-7, Morgan State 33-27 and Norfolk State 44-15, and losing by 30 or more twice, 55-7 at Temple and 42-12 at South Carolina State. Howard's own money games are still ahead: Indiana on September 12 and Rutgers on September 25. That makes this the last game before two FBS road trips, and the last one Howard is expected to be competitive in for a month.
The one data point that directly connects the two rosters is the September 27, 2025 meeting at Richmond, which the Spiders won 13-12. That was the tightest game on Howard's 2025 schedule and one of the tightest on Richmond's, and it was played at Richmond. This one is at Greene Stadium.
As of the evening of September 2, 2026, Kalshi has Richmond at 88c and Howard at 14c. The two legs sum to 102c, which is the exchange's two-sided spread rather than a pricing error, so the de-vigged read on Richmond is roughly 86%. There is no Polymarket leg, so nothing on this page is a cross-platform consensus. It is one book's number.
The price has not moved. Across 44 captures on the Richmond leg between the early hours of September 2 and late that night, the quote traveled from 87c to 88c, and Howard held inside a 14c to 15c band over 13 captures in the same window. Our snapshot history on this board starts on September 2, so that is the full extent of what we have observed, not an open-to-now move. A one-cent range over a day is a board with no information flowing into it.
The volume split is the more interesting number. Of the roughly $787 traded across the two legs for the life of the market, about $626 sits on the Howard side against about $161 on Richmond. Four to one on the underdog is the normal shape of a longshot leg, small tickets buying a cheap outcome, and it also means the 88c favorite price is being set by very little money. On a board this thin, the number is a starting estimate rather than a verdict.
The honest read is that Richmond should be favored and heavily. The Spiders were the better team in 2025 by record and by quality of opposition, they won the opener by three scores, and they run the ball with an established back. The case against paying 88c is narrower and specific: the only time these two rosters actually met, the game was decided by a single point, and Howard now has the home field. There is no spread and no total on this board, so the moneyline is the only expression available, and 14c on a home team that beat an SWAC opponent a week ago is priced as a formality rather than a game.
The market resolves on the final score of the September 5, 2026 game at Greene Stadium in Washington, DC, scheduled for 6:00 PM ET. Each moneyline contract pays $1 per share if that team wins and $0 if it loses. Kalshi settles once the game is official, typically within hours of the final whistle. A postponement inside the same weekend usually settles on the rescheduled result, while a cancellation voids per the exchange's rules.
Richmond's Week 1 opponent is back on the board the same day, with Bucknell hosting Villanova in a Patriot League test that gives Richmond's 35-14 win some calibration. The MEAC's other September 5 measuring stick is Norfolk State at Old Dominion, a conference-mate of Howard's drawing an FBS road check. Richmond's next home opponent is also playing, with Lehigh at Georgetown on the September 5 slate. Every college board we price, from the FCS one-book games to the FBS two-platform ones, sits on the NCAA football hub.
This market resolves to the team that wins the Richmond at Howard game at Greene Stadium in Washington, DC, scheduled for Saturday, September 5, 2026 at 6:00 PM ET. Each moneyline contract pays $1 per share if that team wins the game and $0 per share if it does not, with the official final score as the source of truth. Kalshi settles once the game is final, which is normally within hours of the last whistle. If the game is suspended and completed later, settlement follows the completed result; if it is canceled outright or never played, contracts void per Kalshi's rules for the KXNCAAFGAME series. There is no spread or total posted on this board, so the moneyline is the only market that settles here.
As of the evening of September 2, 2026, Kalshi prices Richmond at 88c and Howard at 14c on the moneyline. The two legs sum to 102c because of the exchange's two-sided spread, so the de-vigged favorite read is roughly 86%. The live board above carries the current quote.
It resolves on the final score of the September 5, 2026 game at Greene Stadium, which kicks off at 6:00 PM ET. Kalshi settles once the game is official, normally within a few hours of the final whistle.
Kalshi only. This game trades under the KXNCAAFGAME series with about $787 in lifetime volume across the two moneyline legs, and Polymarket has no market on it, so there is no cross-platform price to compare.
Richmond, at 88c on Kalshi as of September 2, 2026, or about 86% after adjusting for the two-sided spread. Richmond went 7-5 in 2025 against Howard's 5-7 and opened 2026 with a 35-14 win over Bucknell, though the only meeting between the two ended 13-12 in Richmond's favor.
Whether any money arrives on the Richmond leg, which has taken only about $161 of the board's lifetime volume against roughly $626 on Howard. The price sat between 87c and 88c across 44 captures on September 2, so a genuine move on game day would be the first real information this board has produced.
