Old Dominion vs App State Prediction
The Old Dominion Monarchs have been the better, more consistent team this season, but they’re in the rare favorite role, and I’m not buying it. ODU has been a favorite once this season and lost that game outright. Old Dominion has filed to cover 7 straight games as a favorite, and four of those results were outright losses. Appalachian State has played its best ball at home this season, and Old Dominion is a below-average team on both sides of the ball. Give me the points with the Mountaineers.
