The Charleston Cougars play with great pace and can do their fair share of scoring, but they’ve come up short against respectable teams, and I don’t trust them on the road. The Old Dominion Monarchs should be able to slow things down, control the tempo, and they’ve been kind to bettors as of late with covers in four of their last five games. I’ll lay the small chalk with ODU.
