Old Dominion vs Coastal Carolina Prediction
Old Dominion destroyed Coastal Carolina in their lone H2H this season; it was 74-52 for the Monarchs. However, ODU is now in a much worse form than that, thanks to a porous defense that allowed 76+ points in each of the last six defeats. ODU allowed 81+ points in three of those losses, and although they face a rather toothless offense on Friday, I am sure the Monarchs will concede 70+ points. The Monarchs’ offense, on the other hand, is not bad, and I am backing it to score 75+ here. Old Dominion has hit the game total Over in 10 of its last 15 away games. Go with Over.
