The matchup
Old Dominion Monarchs enter off a 15-23 home loss to Georgia Southern Eagles on Thursday, October 15. Before that they beat App State Mountaineers 10-3 on the road, but the losses pile up around it: 10-42 to Georgia State Panthers, 20-46 to James Madison Dukes, and 17-20 to East Carolina Pirates. The Monarchs have been outscored 188-124 on the season.
Louisiana Tech Bulldogs have strung together wins over UL Monroe Warhawks (24-0), Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns (32-31) and Army Black Knights (31-29) to push their streak to three. Those wins came after a rough stretch against Power 4 competition, losses to Baylor Bears (19-36) and LSU Tigers (14-45). Louisiana Tech Bulldogs have outscored opponents 200-147 this season.
Key matchups
This one comes down to which version of Louisiana Tech Bulldogs shows up. The team that shut out UL Monroe Warhawks and grinded past Army Black Knights by two has been finding ways to win close, while Old Dominion Monarchs have struggled to find any offensive rhythm, scoring in single digits in three of their last five.
Old Dominion Monarchs' lone recent bright spot was a 10-3 road win over App State Mountaineers, proof there's enough defense there to keep games low-scoring. The question is whether that defense can hold up against a Louisiana Tech Bulldogs offense that's scored at least 24 points in each game during its current streak.
The pick
Louisiana Tech Bulldogs are favored by 13.5 with a total of 45.5, and the market score has them at 30-16. Given the streaks, that line tracks: Louisiana Tech Bulldogs are rolling, Old Dominion Monarchs are not.
Expect Louisiana Tech Bulldogs to keep the win streak alive behind the same formula that's carried them the last three weeks.
