James Madison vs UConn Prediction
UConn comes into this matchup on a two game losing streak and they have allowed 35+ points in three of their last five games. The Huskies have been decent on offense this year, but the defense is really letting them down. James Madison bounced back with a blowout win last week, but they did lose the previous two games in overtime. The Dukes are the more talented team, but I think this is going to be a tough battle on the road. Take UConn and the points at home.

Positive Trends
After looking at the trends and seeing just two in our favor, I am bit more skeptical, but will still ride with UConn here. The Huskies have played well in November home games recently and JMU has not passed the eye test in recent weeks. The Dukes are very high scoring, especially in the first half, but we have seen some rough second halves from them in recent weeks. Take UConn and the points at home, as I think they could find a win here.
