Georgia State vs Old Dominion Prediction
I don’t want anything to do with either Old Dominion or Georgia State, as they’re both awful on both sides of the ball. Old Dominion is 101st in scoring offense and 102nd in scoring defense, while Georgia State is 102nd in scoring offense and 108th in scoring defense. With that said, Georgia State does have the better athletes and is at home. Georgia State’s above-average passing attack is the one difference in this contest. I’ll lay the small number with the Georgia State Panthers at home.
