Georgia Southern vs Old Dominion Prediction: Whose Season Will Collapse?
· Yahoo Sports
Georgia Southern went 7-6 last season and has gone bowling four years in a row.
The Eagles were supposed to be a factor in the Sun Belt this season, but they’re 2-4 and in danger of missing out on being bowl eligible if they don’t get hot fast.
Old Dominion is also 2-4, but it’s 1-2 in the Sun Belt. However, it pulled off a 10-3 win at App State last week to pull up out of the nosedive. After two straight winning seasons, it needs this home win.

Why Georgia Southern Will Win
Old Dominion can’t complete passes, connecting on just 51% of its tries, but that’s not the biggest issue. The Monarchs can not stop turning the ball over.
Okay, not hitting throws is an issue – Old Dominion has the second-worst offense in the nation, averaging 266 yards per game – but the 13 turnovers in the first six games didn’t help. Georgia Southern will be in great shape if it can come up with a few early points.
Why Old Dominion Will Win
The Monarchs might be turning the ball over, but the defense is also taking it away with 11 forced turnovers on the year.
That’s how it survived in the win over App State, and it’ll have to overcome all the issues on offense with a few mistakes. The line is great at getting into the opposing backfield and needs to crank up the pressure from the start.
Georgia Southern vs Old Dominion Prediction, Betting Lines
Georgia Southern quarterback Max Johnson is in his seventh year. He’s healthy, and he’s playing like a veteran, even if the offense isn’t quite as dominant as it has been in past seasons. That’s okay – Old Dominion doesn’t have the offensive pop to pull this off.
