Maryland Eastern Shore vs. Old Dominion Prediction

I’m on UMES here with the points. I’m just not in the camp of thinking that Old Dominion should be laying double digits against anyone, even if Maryland Eastern Shore is expected to be one of the worst teams in the country this season. I think the Hawks can cover at the very least here, so give me the Hawks and the points.
