The Florida Atlantic Owls are the better team here, but they’re also in a slump and are just 2-7 SU on the road this season. The Old Dominion Monarchs are at home in this contest, for what’s that worth, and they win at home by an average of 7.1 points. In a near pick em spot between two slumping teams, I’ll give the edge to ODU at home.
