James Madison vs Georgia Southern Prediction

James Madison is just 2-7 SU on the road and hasn’t been able to step up in competition this season. So despite winning six of its last eight games, a contest like this will prove if it’s real. Georgia Southern is 8-2 SU at home this season and is coming off a strong road win over Western Michigan. James Madison has also failed to cover seven of its last 10 games. Georgia Southern has covered four of its last six games as an underdog and two of those covers were outright wins. Big home game for Georgia Southern. I’ll grab the points.
