COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Georgia State enters at 3-1 with a strong scoring profile, averaging 38.8 points per game and 253.0 passing yards per game while also adding 215.3 rushing yards per game. The Panthers have been efficient enough to stay ahead of schedule, and their defense has limited opponents to 340.8 yards per game and 21.3 points per game. Old Dominion comes in at 1-3 and has dropped three straight, with its offense producing 22.3 points and 287.5 yards per game. The Monarchs’ defense has allowed 30.0 points per game, and the offense has struggled to create enough explosive production to keep pace with stronger teams. That contrast makes Georgia State the more reliable side.
Georgia State should have the better offensive balance, the better defensive numbers, and the sharper recent betting profile, which makes the home side the preferred play. Old Dominion’s inefficient offense and leaky run of results point to another difficult outing, while Georgia State’s ability to generate both passing and rushing production gives it a strong path to control the game. My projection is Georgia State Panthers 31, Old Dominion Monarchs 24, with the Panthers covering and the total landing in the mid-50s.
