Chris’ Pick

I’m rolling with the Flames here. This game is super important to ODU as they’re running out of time to nail bowl eligibility, but this is not just another non-conference game to Liberty. The Flames are chasing an undefeated season and while I thought last week could’ve been a spot where the Flames would trip up, they have just carried on, business as usual. I just don’t see a spot where the Flames fall apart here as I don’t think Old Dominion keeps this one close as so many of their recent games have been. Give me Liberty.
