PICK: I’m going to stay with Old Dominion. The Monarchs put up a solid overtime road win over Georgia Southern in their last game, and the team has not hit 70 or more points in three straight outings. Old Dominion has been a mixed bag scoring-wise depending on the matchup this year, however they should post a decent total here. As for Coastal Carolina, they’ve managed just 66 points or fewer in each installment of this three-game losing streak. I don’t see the Chanticleers keeping a cover pace for this whole game.
