College football schedule today: Bowl games on Monday

All times Eastern

Famous Toastery Bowl
Western Ky. vs. Old Dominion
Mon., Dec. 18 | 2:30 p.m. | ESPN
Line: ODU -5, 51.5
FPI pick: WKU 59.9% to win

WKU: Quite a change for the Hilltoppers' offense as quarterback Austin Reed opted out of the bowl game, depriving the unit of a passer of considerable production. Reed led the FBS in passing a year ago, but none of his replacements have thrown more than 10 passes in their careers.

ODU: The Monarchs are also down a key contributor, as All-American linebacker Jason Henderson sustained a leg injury in the season finale. He led college football with 170 tackles, but Old Dominion could still have the defensive advantage as WKU sits outside the top 100 nationally in that department.

ATS pick: Old Dominion -5. The change at quarterback for the Hilltoppers is enough to confidently side with the Monarchs' defense to throw that passing game out of rhythm.
