Keep reading for our prediction on this East Carolina vs Old Dominion matchup from Norfolk.
East Carolina In Search Of 2-0 Start
The East Carolina Pirates got a win in their first game of the season, beating up on FCS opponent Norfolk State by a score of 42-3. They made that game look relatively easy, as they should have against an opponent from a lower division. But the tests begin for the Pirates this weekend as they face their first FBS opponent of the 2024 season in this East Carolina vs Old Dominion matchup.
While East Carolina dominated Norfolk State, turnovers were an area that the Pirates will look at and concede that they need to improve on this week. East Carolina turned the ball over six times against Norfolk State and would likely be blown out if they turned the ball over that many times this weekend.
Old Dominion Looking to Build On Moral Victory
They say that there are no moral victories in football, but Old Dominion’s performance against South Carolina could certainly be considered a moral victory. While the Monarchs lost that game to their opponent from the SEC, they did so by just four points, playing a competitive 23-19 contest against the Gamecocks. This week, Old Dominion will look to build on that game and collect their first win of the 2024 season.
Isiah Paige will be a player to watch from the wide receiver position for the Monarchs in this game. In their loss to South Carolina, Paige had eight catches for 115 yards and a touchdown. Against a defense that is not expected to be quite as good as that of an SEC team, Paige’s performance could be even better in this matchup to help his team get into the win column for the first time this season.
East Carolina vs Old Dominion Best Bet
Our best bet for this East Carolina vs Old Dominion matchup is for Old Dominion to cover the number at home. While the line is moving in East Carolina’s favor here, their inability to take care of the football could become a concern, while Old Dominion’s offense should look better than it did a week ago against more beatable competition.
