Old Dominion vs Texas State Prediction

In this Old Dominion vs Texas State Prediction, Texas State is coming as -2 home favorites. Texas State has been the better team this season and have been almost perfect at home, but they are just 3-4 in their last 7 games and 3-6 against the spread. On the flip side, Old Dominion is 3-7 in its last 10 games but a perfect 6-0 against the spread in its last 6, so I see no value on either side. Both teams are 9-4 to the over in their last 13 games combined and I expect another high-scoring affair today. Take the over 143.5 points in this one.
