The Eagles are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 conference games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Monarchs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games on fieldturf. The under is 5-1 in Eagles last 6 games following a straight up win. The under is 5-2 in Monarchs last 7 home games.
The Georgia Southern Eagles are in a bit of a letdown spot after last week’s win over James Madison, and they’re still horrible defensively. The Old Dominion Monarchs have issues of their own, but they’ve played their best ball at home, and they’ve won the majority of the games they’re supposed to win this season. ODU should have offensive success against a Georgia Southern defense that can’t stop anybody. I’ll lay the small chalk.
