Old Dominion vs High Point Prediction
The Old Dominion Monarchs haven’t been great defensively up to this point, and I doubt things improve on the end of a back to back. ODU is also 0-5 ATS on the season and has failed to cover each of its last 7 games overall. The High Point Panthers are the more balanced team and will have the best player on the floor. Thick line, but I like High Point to get the job done.
