Old Dominion Looks to Build On First Win

After losing their first three games of the 2024 season, the Old Dominion Monarchs got their first win of the season last week against the Bowling Green Falcons. Old Dominion's defense continued to struggle in that game at Bowling Green, but their offense put together their best performance of the season, scoring 30 points en route to the victory. The Monarchs will still need to find a way to be better on defense in this contest, but they at least know they have a path to victory by putting a ton of points on the board.

Coastal Carolina Hoping to Recover From First Loss

Coastal Carolina suffered its first loss of the season in their last game, losing at home to the Virginia Cavaliers. Since then, the Chanticleers have had a bye week and they will look to use the extra rest to come up with a win in this Sun Belt opener for both teams. Coastal Carolina will look to continue to use its running game to crush their competition in this game, as they come into this game averaging 209.3 yards per game on the ground. Against a bad Old Dominion defense, they could be successful in doing just that.

Old Dominion vs Coastal Carolina Best Bet

In this Old Dominion vs Coastal Carolina matchup, we will take the Chanticleers to win and cover the spread at home. We are still not sold on Old Dominion despite them getting into the win column last week, as their defense still has a lot of holes that the Chants should take advantage of here. Look for the Chanticleers to win this one by at least a touchdown on the teal turf.
