Old Dominion vs Xavier Prediction

Old Dominion has been outmatched against better competition so far this season and has failed to cover its last four games. ODU getting smoked here wouldn’t be shocking. However, Xavier is 0-4 ATS on the season and has failed to cover 5 straight games overall. Xavier lost outright as a favorite to Santa Clara. Xavier has failed to cover 5 of its last 8 games as a favorite. Old Dominion isn’t a team I’m excited to back, but siding with Xavier in the big favorite role is less of a play. It’s ODU or pass for me.
