6* James Madison vs Georgia Southern
(NCAAF) James Madison vs. Georgia Southern,
Point Spread: -11.50 | -110.00 James Madison (Away)
Result: Loss
James madison made went 33-5 in their last three years in the FCS and they have picked up right where they left off here in their first year at the FBS level. They have gone 5-0 SU and ATS in their first five games, which included a four-point road win against Appalachian State and 22 point road win against Arkansas State last week. Yes, Georgia Southern beat Nebraska on the road, but they are still not playing at the level of the Dukes right now. The James Madison offense is 16th in total offense, 17th in rushing, and 6th in scoring, putting up 44.2 ppg. They will have a field day against this Georgia Southern defense that is 121st in total yards allowed, 126th against the run, and 97th in points allowed, giving up 30.3 ppg. I realize that Georgia Souther has been solid on offense, but JMU is 2nd in total yards allowed, 23rd against the pass, 1st against the run, and 14th in points allowed at 15.0 ppg. The Dukes have a solid edge on offense and a huge edge on defense and that should lead to them winning this one by at least 17 points.
