Coastal Carolina Chanticleers vs. Old Dominion Monarchs Prediction

I’m leaning towards Coastal Carolina and the points here. We’re going to find out if that outright win over South Alabama is more of a plus for Coastal or a minus against the Jaguars, but as good as Old Dominion is, I still feel like I’m having a hard time laying this many points with the Monarchs. I still think ODU wins, but I see this as more of a two-score win like 31-17 or something in that ballpark. It’ll be interesting to see where this line lands, but I’ll side with the Chants and the points here.
