#140 ASA PLAY ON James Madison -15.5 over Georgia State, Saturday at 3:30 PM ET - This is simply one of the best situational spots of the season. JMU is at home off a bye week and they are facing a Georgia State team that is playing their 4th straight road game in 4 weeks. On top of that, they have to be demoralized losing 5 straight games and now most likely out of gas for this game. Speaking of the situation, since 2019 there have been 7 instances of a team playing their 4th straight road game vs a team coming off a bye and the rested team is a perfect 7-0 ATS. Georgia State’s offense will struggle here vs a James Madison defense that ranks in the top 15 nationally in YPP allowed (4.7) and points allowed (17 PPG). The Dukes defense has held half of their opponents (4) to less than 10 points. Offensively, JMU averages over 400 YPG and they’ve scored at least 30 points in 5 of their 8 games this year. They are capable of putting up huge numbers on offense as they have already this season scoring 70 points @ North Carolina and 63 points at home vs Ball State. They are facing a Georgia State defense that has to be tired and is allowing 31 PPG on the season. The Panther defense has allowed more than 30 points in 5 of their last 6 games and now facing a rested and prepared James Madison offense. GSU’s average margin of their 6 losses this year is 12.5 points and now with the terrible situation factored in. All of JMU’s wins (vs FBS) have come by at least 17 points. This smells like a potential blowout.
