Old Dominion at Arizona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Old Dominion at Arizona odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Old Dominion Monarchs (0-1) and the No. 9 Arizona Wildcats (1-0) meet at McKale Center in Tucson Saturday. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Old Dominion vs. Arizona odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Monarchs suffered an 83-82 loss as a 10.5-point favorite against Buffalo in Monday’s regular-season opener as the Over (146) cashed. It looks even worse after Buffalo struggled against with Division III Fredonia State at home Friday.

The Wildcats roughed up Canisius in the season opener Monday, winning 93-64 as a 34-point favorite as the Over (156) just came in at the last second. Arizona was led by G Caleb Love, who had 17 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds in 21 minutes while hitting 3 triples. G Jaden Bradley chipped in with 15 points, and G KJ Lewis was good for 14 points.

Against the spread

OLD DOMINION +31.5 (-105) is worth backing catching this high amount of points.

Yes, ODU lost to Buffalo in the regular-season opener. And, yes, Arizona pounded Canisius in the opener. However, it just missed the cover against the Golden Griffins, winning by 29 points as a 34-point favorite. We should see a similar scenario play out in this one.

Over/Under

OVER 160.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

For Arizona, the Over connected in Monday’s rout of Canisius. With just 26 seconds left in the game, a Canisius layup flipped the total to an Over by just a single point.

For ODU, it smashed the Over with an 83-82 loss against Buffalo with a total of 146 points. The Wildcats should be able to flirt with triple digits against the Monarchs at McKale Center.

Analyzing Thursday’s Georgia Southern at Old Dominion odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

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.

Analyzing Saturday’s Old Dominion Monarchs at James Madison Dukes odds and lines, with college football expert picks and predictions.

Old Dominion was an upset winner (+5.5) in a 28-21 home triumph over Appalachian State last Saturday. The run-1st Monarchs clocked 5.7 yards per carry against the Mountaineers. ODU is 3-1 over its last 4 games.

The Dukes are back at home after covering as 5.5-point favorites with a 20-9 victory at Marshall on Oct. 19. Dating back to last season, JMU has won 5 straight on its home turf.

Old Dominion at James Madison picks and predictions

Prediction

James Madison 31, Old Dominion 10

Moneyline

A big gulf here. AVOID both coasts.

Against the spread

James Madison is proficient in the passing game, staying on schedule and averaging 8.6 yards per attempt (28th in FBS). That aerial assault will be directed on the weakest part of the Old Dominion defense and on what figures as a good-weather evening.

The number here is a big one. The Dukes play at a slow enough pace (plays per game below the national average), and there is just enough recency subtext swinging in ODU’s favor to make this one a PASS.

Over/Under

The total has gone Under in 4 of Old Dominion’s last 5 games. In James Madison’s last 3 at home, the Under has won twice (both by comfortable double-digit margins).

The pace in this one, JMU’s struggling late-down offense vs. ODU’s proficient late-down defense, and a couple minor trends play into an Under lean here.

From an analytics standpoint, 2 of the Monarchs’ best defensive games have come over their last 3 contests. The opposite holds true for the Dukes’ offense.

BET THE UNDER 48.5 (-110).

Myrtle Beach Bowl: Old Dominion vs. Tulsa odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday’s Old Dominion vs. Tulsa odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Old Dominion Monarchs (6-6) take on the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (6-6) Monday in the Myrtle Beach Bowl presented by TaxAct at Brooks Stadium in Conway, S.C. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we look at the Old Dominion vs. Tulsa odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Monarchs started the season 1-6 SU, and in mid-October there appeared to be no way this team would become bowl eligible. But ODU went on a 5-0 SU/ATS run since Oct. 30, qualifying for the postseason.

The Golden Hurricane also got hot down the stretch, including a 34-31 win at SMU as 6.5-point underdogs in the regular-season finale to gain bowl eligibility. Tulsa finished on a three-game win streak, while going 4-0 ATS in the final four outings.

Old Dominion vs. Tulsa odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Tulsa 27, Old Dominion 23

Money line

Tulsa (-350) will cost three-and-a-half times your potential return, which is rather risky. While I believe the Golden Hurricane do enough to get the win here, WR Sam Crawford Jr., the team’s third-leading receiver has entered the transfer portal, and the team has also had some assistant coaches take new jobs. So there is some upheaval for the Golden Hurricane.

AVOID.

Against the spread

OLD DOMINION +8.5 (-108) has been red-hot against the number, and the Monarchs should see quite a few more supporters in this game with a short trip from Norfolk, Va., to Myrtle Beach, S.C. ODU is also 8-3 ATS in its past 11 non-conference tilts, while covering five straight games overall.

Over/Under

The UNDER 52.5 (-108) is worth a small-unit play in this matinee game Monday.

The Under has cashed in seven of the past nine neutral-site games for Tulsa, while going 7-3 in its past 10 bowl games. The Under is 5-2 in ODU’s past seven games overall, while going 5-0 in the past five as an underdog, too.

Old Dominion at Wake Forest odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Old Dominion at Wake Forest odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Old Dominion Monarchs and Wake Forest Demon Deacons meet Friday in the season opener at Truist Field in Winston-Salem, N.C. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Old Dominion vs. Wake Forest odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Monarchs are back in action after electing not to play during the 2020 season due to COVID-19. Head coach Ricky Rahne officially takes the reins for the Monarchs, who are expected to be a bit rusty. They were 1-11 in 2019, and just seven starters return.

The Demon Deacons have one of the top offensive units in the ACC, returning QB Sam Hartman. WR Jaquarii Roberson also heads up a top-notch receiving corps, and all five members of the offensive line are back, too. The weak spot for this team is on defense, although eight starters are back and it should be improved.

Old Dominion at Wake Forest odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Wake Forest 51, Old Dominion 10

Money line

Wake Forest (-5000) will cost you $100 for every $2 won, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that I’m steering you to the spread instead. While Wake is fully expected to win this game, over the long haul, betting huge favorites on the money line is a losing proposition. Eventually, you’ll get smacked hard. It’s just not worth the risk.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Play WAKE FOREST -31.5 (-103) laying the big points. Old Dominion last played Nov. 30, 2019. The Demon Deacons haven’t won a game since Aug. 31, 2019, more than two calendar years. This is going to be an ugly game with the home team routing the Conference USA visitors.

Over/Under

The play is the UNDER 62.5 (-108) even though Wake Forest is likely to march the ball up and down the field. The Deacs will do the heavy lifting, but the Monarchs are likely to have a hard time cobbling together much in the way of offense, especially on the road against a solid team.
