Old Dominion vs Georgia Southern Prediction
Both of these teams come into this game after picking up nice wins last week and they both have small winning streaks they are looking to maintain. Old Dominion has allowed just 14 points in each of their last two games and they will have the home field advantage here. Georgia Southern is undefeated in conference play and just beat James Madison by double-digits, so they will have a ton of momentum coming into this game. This should be a very entertaining game to watch, but I think Georgia Southern has the slight edge on the road. Back the Eagles here.
