Georgia Southern at Old Dominion picks and predictions

Prediction

Georgia Southern 27, Old Dominion 24

Moneyline

GEORGIA SOUTHERN (+110) is a solid play as a short ‘dog in this road contest.

The Eagles doubled up James Madison 28-14 as a 10-point underdog, and it has won 5 of the past 6 games, including 3 straight, while going 5-1-1 ATS this season.

Old Dominion (-110) will certainly make Georgia Southern sweat, but the balanced offensive attack of the Eagles will help it to the victory. The Monarchs have managed just 335.0 total yards per game and 159.4 passing yards per contest. The defense is allowing 401.3 total yards per contest, and that will be the difference. The road team has won each of the past 2 outings since 2022.

Against the spread

Georgia Southern +2 (-110) isn’t worth playing, unless you feel Old Dominion -2 (-110) will win by only a single point.

If not, play the Eagles straight up on the moneyline for a much better value.

AVOID.

Over/Under

UNDER 54.5 (-110) is worth playing lightly in Thursday’s Sun Belt tilt.

The total has gone low in each of the past 2 games for Georgia Southern, while cashing in 3 of the past 4 outings.

For Old Dominion, the Under has hit in the past 2 outings, averaging 22.5 PPG, while allowing 14.0 PPG. These teams have met twice in the past 2 seasons as Sun Belt members, with the total going low both times.
