Marshall vs Old Dominion Prediction

This line makes no sense. The Marshall Thundering Herd may have had issues on the road this season, but they're still the better team overall. Marshall is also 8-1-1 ATS on the season. The Old Dominion Monarchs are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. Heck, the Monarchs are 0-2 ATS this season as a favorite, and those failed covers were outright losses. What are we doing here? Give me Marshall and the free points in a game, it probably wins outright.
