Old Dominion vs Arkansas State Prediction
This line doesn't much sense because the Arkansas State Red Wolves are simply the better team playing the better football. It's also senior night for an Arkansas State roster that has 26 seniors. The Old Dominion Monarchs can't get off the field defensively, and they've had issues winning on the road. I'm not asking any questions and simply taking the points with the better team.
