Troy at Old Dominion Prediction
Old Dominion will control the game with its balance on offense and the playmaking of Joseph. Troy’s pass protection issues will give the Monarchs extra possessions, and Old Dominion’s defensive front will limit the Trojans’ ground game. The Monarchs are stronger in both lines and more consistent on early downs. Final Score Prediction: Old Dominion Monarchs win and cover ATS, 31–17.
