Prediction
Neither defense is particularly strong, but looking at both sides, they’re right around the FBS average in a lot of categories. Still, both schools gave up only 14 points last week, and now Old Dominion has had their past two games soar under by a wide margin. Georgia Southern has had their last two games go under, and we’re expecting this trend to continue on Thursday night.
Final Pick
Under 54.5 (-104)
