Betting Trends for vs
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers were able to kick off conference play with an impressive win over the defending C-USA champions in the UAB Blazers while Old Dominion has been shaky with a 1-3 record. The Hilltoppers were very good on the defensive side of the ball against an experienced QB in Tyler Johnston III as they forced him into 4 interceptions, and that could be a backbreaker for the Monarchs as they have received inconsistent play out of Stone Smartt. The Hilltoppers went with their SEC transfer Ty Storey against UAB and he looks like he could be the starter the rest of the way as he had an efficient game. Old Dominion is a young team and they have kept their games relatively close this year, but I don’t think they will have much success against an improved team. Final Score Prediction, Western Kentucky Hilltoppers win and cover ATS 31-21.
