James Madison vs San Diego St. Pick
James Madisonβs 87-point performance last week came against an overmatched opponent, but the Dukes also earned a quality victory against Liberty in their opener. San Diego State has relied heavily on its running game and has not generated much production through the air. That could become a problem against a James Madison defense that has allowed only 16 points through 2 games. The cross-country trip is a legitimate concern, but the Dukes have more offensive versatility and greater quarterback depth. Take James Madison to slow the Aztecsβ rushing attack and earn the outright road victory.
