Old Dominion vs Coastal Carolina Prediction 

Coastal Carolina couldn’t keep up with Virginia in their last game, but they won their first three games of the season and will have the home-field advantage here. The Chanticleers were able to take care of business against Temple and Jacksonville State earlier in the season and I think that will be the case once again here. Old Dominion did pick up a nice win against Bowling Green last week, but I think they are overmatched here. I don’t expect much from this ODU offense and I like Coastal Carolina to pull away in the second half. Take the Chanticleers here.
