T.M. Selection: Old Dominion/East Carolina UNDER

I am on the UNDER in the Old Dominion vs East Carolina game on Saturday. Looking at this game, I see a very competitive, low scoring game won by whoever has the better offense. Neither of these teams looked "strong" offensively in week 1 and I expect a defensive battle here. Although Old Dominion beat Virginia Tech last week, which was an upset, I wasn't too impressed with them. Considering they were supposed to be a solid team this year, QB Hayden Wolff was not efficient whatsoever. He was only 14/35 passing with 165 yards. For the Pirates, on the other hand, they easily could have upset NC St last week. But, their kicker blew it for them and it was the defense that provided them opportunities to score. Their QB in Holton Ahlers, was slightly better than Wolff. But he still wasn't great. he finished 25/41 for 267 yards, 2TDs and 2INTs. One thing that was observed in Week 1 is that neither of these teams were able to run the ball extremely well either like most college's love to do. Having said that, both of them will try to establish the game in the trenches to start this game and I expect lots of punts in this one.

T.M. Prediction: 23-17 ECU
