Eastern Michigan at Old Dominion

The expectation here is that the fast-playing pass-happy offense of FBS newcomer Old Dominion means that the points will be ringing up faster than the clock can tick. Eastern Michigan is going to need to help some to get this one into the low 70s. However, last week they were shutout and added to the fact that they scored 16 or fewer points in half their games last season. They got just 31 against a weak Morgan State team at home then needed to rally late to get those. I just don't see enough offense on this team to trust that they get to the 20 points or so they will likely need to push this one OVER the top. The oddsmakers depend on a FBS newcomer to get a big number here, so I don't think it is as automatic as it looks. If ODU is up big late, in the game and the first team is off the field, which is quite likely to be the case, I don't see the points coming. Play on the UNDER.
