Regardless of the lack of seven-win seasons, he\u2019s raised Old Dominion\u2019s floor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ODU fans are hopeful that despite a brutal schedule and a few important personnel losses, the Monarchs will exceed expectations once again and qualify for a bowl game. Rahne returns his starting quarterback, Grant Wilson, and offensive coordinator Kevin Decker, and there\u2019s reason to believe ODU\u2019s up-tempo spread offense could give defenses fits in 2024.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The offense\u2019s chances of success hinge largely on improved offensive line play. The Monarchs allowed 4.77 sacks per game, the worst mark in the country. Defensively, ODU ranked in the bottom 10 nationally in sacks generated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Monarchs need to improve in the trenches to take a step forward in the <a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/college-football\/sun-belt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sun Belt<\/a> East. If that happens, there\u2019s enough talent elsewhere on the roster for Old Dominion to make a bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6a896cfa alignwide\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-21cd4368\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betmgm.com\/en\/mobileportal\/register?utm_source=herosports&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=register\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-21cd4368\" src=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/atl-ms-1549850-paid-display-leaderboard-728x90-1.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1\" alt=\"\" title=\"ATL_MS_1549850_Paid Display-Leaderboard-728x90 (1)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/atl-ms-1549850-paid-display-leaderboard-728x90-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 728w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/atl-ms-1549850-paid-display-leaderboard-728x90-1-300x37.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/atl-ms-1549850-paid-display-leaderboard-728x90-1.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-old-dominion-football-s-sun-belt-title-odds\">Old Dominion Football\u2019s Sun Belt Title Odds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Old Dominion\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.betmgm.com\/en\/sports\/football-11\/betting\/usa-9\/college-football-211?utm_source=herosports&amp;utm_medium=article&amp;utm_campaign=college_football\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">odds to win the Sun Belt<\/a> are +3500, via BetMGM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-old-dominion-football-s-betting-odds-amp-over-under-win-total\">Old Dominion Football\u2019s Betting Odds &amp;

Illinois transfer Zachary Barlev should help at center, anchoring what could be an improved unit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the group makes some strides, it\u2019ll allow for Wilson to find his receivers, like Iowa transfer&nbsp; Diante Vines. The transfer played well in the spring, and he\u2019s expected to be a major contributor for the Monarchs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rutgers transfer running back Aaron Young boasts plenty of experience, running for 492 yards and six touchdowns while with the Big Ten program. He\u2019s a serviceable Sun Belt back and should perform well with increased opportunity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defensively, linebacker Jason Henderson is the best tackler in the Sun Belt. He\u2019s a game-changing player, and a likely candidate for SBC Defensive Player of the Year. North Texas transfer Patrick Smith-Young should make a major impact at safety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Old Dominion\u2019s roster features a few special individual talents. If the offensive and defensive lines become more productive, the path is there for ODU to become the Sun Belt\u2019s surprise team.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6a896cfa alignwide\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-21cd4368\"><a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/betmgm-promotions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"147\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-21cd4368\" src=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&ssl=1\" alt=\"promo-page-banner\" title=\"PROMO-BANNER-2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-300x41.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-768x105.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-1024x139.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2-750x102.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/e8tpmrtk53q.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PROMO-BANNER-2.jpg?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;w=384&amp;ssl=1 384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2024-old-dominion-football-season-prediction\">2024 Old Dominion Football Season Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I expect Old Dominion to be competitive in the Sun Belt in 2024, but I\u2019m not taking the Monarchs to go Over their 4.5 win total because of the schedule and lingering questions about the offensive line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Games with South Carolina and Virginia Tech are likely losses, and non-conference matchups with East Carolina and Bowling Green aren\u2019t surefire wins, either.
