Prediction
Virginia Tech took care of Marshall last week, but they failed to cover, and they’ve now failed to cover each of their first two games. Old Dominion is winless, but they held their own in Week 1 versus a tough South Carolina team, losing by just four points when they were 21-point underdogs. Expect the Monarchs to keep this one competitive and back them to cover the 14.5-point spread.
Final Pick
Old Dominion +14.5 (-105)
