Old Dominion Monarchs vs. Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks Prediction
I’m on Old Dominion here. I just don’t see any way that Louisiana-Monroe keeps this game close. There’s just far too much firepower on Old Dominion’s side, and I don’t see the Warhawks matching score for score here. Give me Old Dominion by 3+ TDs. I’ll lay the points with the Monarchs in this one.
