Western Kentucky is looking to add another CUSA win to its belt. They have the early lead in the East Division.
This will be the first league game for the Monarchs who have been competitive even in losses.

The Hilltoppers are small favourites in this one on the road. The visitors have won three of the last four.
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers
The Hilltoppers are perfect in the conference but both wins have been by a touchdown or less. In short, they are not dominating even though they are in a command position right now.
Western Kentucky could have a problem as the offense has not generated many points and will be without starter Steven Duncan the rest of the season.
Sophomore Ty Storey got his chance last week and looked OK. He was originally an Arkansas recruit so he might have been the more talented option anyway. He did not make mistakes and if he keeps that up they can keep winning.
One thing WKU could use more of are big plays. It is hard to be methodical and have a lot of consistent success.

The Hilltoppers are solid favourites on the road so the oddsmakers are telling us they think pretty highly of them in terms of the Conference USA hierarchy.
Old Dominion Monarchs
The Monarchs have lost three in a row. Losing at Virginia and Virginia Tech was to be expected but at home against East Carolina is one they wish they had back. They lost by three.
It is hard to win when you just don’t score much. After four games, including one FCS win over Norfolk the Monarchs are averaging just under 20ppg.
Quarterback Stone Smartt leads the team in rushing and passing. Given that he is not particularly adept at either I am not sure it is fair to call him a dual threat.
Old Dominion can play some defense and since the Hilltoppers are not elite offensively this one should stay close. Maybe if they can possess the ball last they can get the win.

This one is a tough handicap, small dogs on the road usually are. The short answer is whichever team can find a lasting answer on offense probably wins it.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Old Dominion +3.5
I am inclined to side with the home team, especially with that hook helping us out. I am looking to Smartt to have his best game of the season now that the lights are turned up a little at home.
This game probably starts off a little sloppy but Smartt moves them late to get the win. The stats are not going to be huge but the win will be.
