UVA is entering this game with a 1-1 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 2nd home game of the season as they are 1-0 in their home games this year. They lost against the Illinois Fighting Illini in their last game on the road 24-3. Brennan Armstrong started that game at QB and he completed 13/32 passes for 180 yards and 2 interceptions. Jay Woolfolk led the team in rushing with 31 yards on 1 rushing attempt. Lavel Davis led the team in receiving with 67 yards on 2 receptions. Langston Long led the defense in that game with 8 solo tackles and 5 assisted tackles. Nick Jackson, Chico Bennett, Jr., and Kameron Butler all led the defense in sacks with 1 each while Anthony Johnson came away with the only interception for them in that one.

The current betting odds have ODU listed as a 10 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. ODU looked very good in their 1st game of the year when they upset VA Tech at home, but they were not that great in their last game getting blown out in East Carolina. Their coach did put that game on him though, saying he allowed his team to let that 1st win of the season linger, but now they should be back on track here in this road game more focused on it after that loss. Virginia hasn't looked great themselves in their 1st 2 games this season. They beat an FCS Richmond team at home in a game they took a big lead in letting it slip away in the 2nd half with bad mistakes, and then they lost their game in Illinois last week in a game where they must've missed the bus for because they did not show up at all in that 24-3 loss. Now they are laying 10 points at home against an ODU team that isn't as bad as their performance on the road last week and will be hungry for a win here with a worse team up on the block. This is a great bounce back spot for ODU and is a game that they could even win outright. The best way to place a bet here is on ODU to cover the spread in this game.

“I didn’t think the offense’s urgency was there. I don’t think our mindset was there, and that’s my job, too, getting ‘em there. I don’t think we had that.” - Brennan Armstrong after their loss against Illinois in their last game.
