Old Dominion Monarchs Odds, Schedule, Stats & Betting Trends

The Old Dominion Monarchs are coming off a gritty campaign under head coach Ricky Rahne and will try to build on that progress this year as they continue their run in the Sun Belt.

ODU earned a 5–7 record in 2024 but still managed a bowl appearance thanks to strong in-conference play and a defense that kept them in games late. They're expected to be in the thick of it again in 2025, led by tackling machine Jason Henderson and an offense that returns key weapons. If you think this is the year the Monarchs break through, futures markets are already open.

As of now, the Monarchs rank No. 81 in Action Network’s college football power ratings with a 65.8 score, just behind Washington State and ahead of Louisiana. Not quite title favorites, but they’re in striking distance if things click early.

How to bet on the Old Dominion Monarchs

Old Dominion Monarchs Point Spreads

Point spreads are a go-to for bettors. They’re all about margins, not just who wins.

Let’s say you see this:

• Old Dominion +6.5 (-110)
• Charlotte -6.5 (-110)

Old Dominion is the underdog here. If they win outright, or even lose by six or less, Monarchs bettors get paid. Charlotte needs a win by seven or more to cover.

Old Dominion Monarchs Over/Unders

Not feeling a side? You can always go with totals (or over/under bets). It’s about how much scoring happens in the game, not who does it.

For example: if the Old Dominion vs. Charlotte line is set at 50 points, and the final score is 28–24, that’s a win for Over bettors. If it’s 27–20? Under cashes. A flat 50 results in a push, so nobody wins or loses.

Old Dominion had a few wild games last season, but they also leaned on their defense. Totals can swing based on matchup and tempo.

Old Dominion Monarchs Moneylines

Simple stuff here: pick the winner.

If Old Dominion is a +250 underdog vs. Marshall, a $100 bet wins you $250 if they pull it off. On the other hand, a –250 favorite like Marshall would require a $250 bet to make $100 profit.

Moneyline bets are popular when you’ve got a strong read but don’t want to mess with the spread.

Old Dominion Monarchs Prop Bets

Prop bets let you drill down on individual player stats or unique game moments. Depending on where you bet, you might see:

• Will Aaron Young hit 90+ rushing yards?
• How many tackles will Jason Henderson rack up?
• First team to score? First turnover?

College props aren’t as deep as the NFL, but there are still fun spots if you know the roster.

Old Dominion Monarchs Futures

Futures bets are the long view. Will Old Dominion win the Sun Belt? Can they hit the over on season wins? Does someone on the roster have a shot at conference player of the year?

Early numbers usually offer more value, and more risk. But if you believe in this squad’s trajectory, it might be worth jumping in before the odds shift.
