Charlotte is 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog and 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a losing home record while the over is4-0 in their last 4 games in November. Old Dominion is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games on turf while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 conference games.

The points with Charlotte are tempting considering that bowl eligibility is on the line for both teams here, so you could probably expect a battle. However, these are two teams heading in different directions down the stretch, with ODU winning four straight and covering in four straight and 5 of the last 6 while Charlotte’s dropped four of their last five games and just lok lie a team that’s running out of gas. We haven’t really seen ODU blow anyone away, but no time like the present or the last game of the season. Give me the Monarchs laying the points at home here.
