JMU didn't look good in their last game as they struggled in spots to Louisiana Lafayette but still managed to win to take their record to 14-0. But despite that blimp, it happens with good teams not having their best night, this is still the much better team on both sides of the ball as they are in the top 50 teams this season and ranked. Southern Miss won their last game at home and will get up for this game along with their fans who will pack the venue as this game is a big deal to this town. SM won the last game between these two teams 80-73 and will be looking to win again. However, this will be the ultimate revenge game for JMU and that could be one of the reasons they struggled the other night. They were probably looking ahead to this game because they know they need to win this game to keep their streak alive. The line has come down in this game as bettors jump on the home team, but it's low enough now to take JMU to win and cover in this spot.

JMU are 10-3 ATS this season. JMU is 10-2 ATS after playing a game as a road favorite over the last 2 seasons. SM are 1-5 ATS this season after 1 or more consecutive wins. James Madison are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games. Southern Mississippi are 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 games. Southern Mississippi are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played on a Saturday.

Best bet: lay the points with James Madison.
