Old Dominion vs Maryland Prediction

In this Old Dominion vs Maryland Prediction, Maryland is coming as -13.5 home favorites. Maryland has been the better team this season with a better overall record and are going up against an Old Dominion squad that has been winless in its 8 road games so far. Both teams have been in terrible form lately, as Maryland is 1-5 in its last 6 games and Old Dominion 1-6 in its last 7, so I see no value on either side. They have both been involved in some higher-scoring games lately, as they are 13-4 to the over in their last 17 games combined. Take the over 152 points in this one.
