With DL there is always the chance that you'd get a schedule change that will allow you a free change. If that doesn't work you can go to the airport early and standby or try SDC (not sure about the rules, but I believe starting 24 hours prior and can do online during check-in?).
I would most definitely change the flight, NYC airports have too many delays. I chose a 7 hour connection over a 2 1/2 one in EWR coming in on a DH8. Rather spend some time in the club than sitting on the runway counting down my connection.

Knowing the DL agents at ORD, I would be pretty surprised if they didn't let you standby on an earlier flight for free on the day of departure.
Also, if there's a delay, you still have time to reroute over ATL or DTW instead of JFK.
