From the booth
The model favored ODU to win, and the call landed.
Old Dominion's got this one locked down at 99 percent to win, and it's not even close. The Monarchs are laying over 40 points here, they've got the talent advantage on the field, and everything the market's telling us says ODU should handle Norfolk State with ease. This is a massive talent mismatch, folks. Norfolk State's facing a really steep climb just to keep this respectable.
