Old Dominion vs William & Mary Prediction

I’m on William & Mary here. The Tribe have been better this season against what I feel has been a tougher schedule, and while the Tribe are far from world-beaters, I do think that they’re better than Old Dominion, who only have a win over a subdivision opponent and a Maryland-Eastern Shore team graded as one of the worst in the country. Everyone else more often than not has crushed Old Dominion and I look for this game to be no different. Give me the Tribe laying the points.
