Old Dominion (ODU) boasts a formidable defense that should challenge Indiana’s offense from the outset. Their opportunistic secondary is poised to capitalize on Indiana’s tendency for offensive turnovers, likely forcing mistakes early in the game. ODU’s history of competing in tight contests contrasts with Indiana’s struggles to cover large spreads. Offensively, ODU’s high-tempo approach should enable them to sustain drives and limit errors in the first half. Given these factors, ODU is well-positioned to keep the game close in the first half, making them a strong pick to stay competitive early. Let’s cash some tickets!
