Georgia Southern vs Old Dominion Prediction, Odds, Time: NCAAF Week 7 Expert Picks

Key Points:

• Georgia Southern Eagles are favored by 3.5 points over Old Dominion Monarchs in their Thursday, Oct. 15 matchup in Norfolk, Virginia, with kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
• Georgia Southern has improved defensively under new coordinator Mike Mutz, adopting a bend-don't-break style that limits explosive plays, while quarterback Max Johnson leads a pass-heavy offense with multiple receiving threats.
• Old Dominion struggles offensively after losing star QB Colton Joseph, ranking last in Success Rate nationally, but maintains a strong defense ranked in the top 10 by the same metric.
• Georgia Southern performs significantly better at home, with quarterback Max Johnson posting much stronger passing stats in home games, but the team has also shown some road success this season.
• Betting trends show Georgia Southern favored around -3 to -4, with the total points line fluctuating between 46.5 and 52.5; the prediction favors Georgia Southern going under their team total due to Old Dominion's defensive strengths and offensive inefficiency.
