T.M. Selection: Middle Tennessee State.

I like Middle Tennessee State to cover the spread against Old Dominion in this game on Thursday. Middle Tennessee State has looked very good in their games lately, they have 6 wins in their previous 7 games. They just lost a game last Saturday on the road but they were play UAB who is a very good 8-2 in conference play this year. They have bounced back since that loss with a win over UTSA in their most recent game and I think they are going to go on another run here. They have looked very good in home games this year and they are a perfect 10-0. Not only are they 10-0 at home and have looked great in those games, but 8/10 of their home games this year have been won by 10+ points. They only won their most recent home game by 9 points and they gave up 75 points in that game but in most of their home games this year, their defense has looked great and they have not given up 70+ points in many games on their home court. Old Dominion has lost 2 games in a row and I don't think they are going to come close to breaking that funk here. Both of their losses were by 20+ points and they have struggled in a lot of their games this year. They haven't looked good in conference play this year since they are below .500 in those games but they have also looked bad on the road too winning 3/10 games played on the road this year. They have lost by 20+ points in 2 games in a row and they have also lost by 20+ points in 2/3 of their previous 3 road games. I think Old Dominion is going to continue struggling here and I think Middle Tennessee State will breeze through them on their own home court here. I like Middle Tennessee State to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 81-67 Middle Tennessee State.
