Old Dominion vs Virginia Tech Pick

Virginia Tech should have the upper hand at the line of scrimmage and enough defensive talent to keep Old Dominion from consistently moving the football. The Monarchs may compete early, but their lack of depth will become a problem. Look for the Hokies to lean on their rushing attack before pulling away during the second half, leading to the home win and cover.
