Elon is a barking dawg at home in this one as I would not be surprised to see the Phoenix win this game outright. Elon is a lot better at home than it is on the road, and that can be seen in its 4-3 overall record at home despite owning a 4-13 overall record. Elon has already beaten solid teams at home such as Winthrop and Northeastern, and James Madison has only played in three true road games. James Madison is coming off a bad performance against William & Mary in which the Dukes needed OT to beat the clear worst team in the CAA. Elon is a strong three-point and free-throw shooting team and James Madison's defense has not been the best this season, ranked 193 in three-point defense and 315th in 2-point defense. Elon had the much tougher non-conference schedule which featured road games against Florida, Arkansas, Duke, North Carolina, and West Virginia (neutral site) and James Madison is bringing nothing that Elon has not seen already this season. I think Elon at least covers the number at home but I do expect an outright upset win from the Phoenix. 

Ron’s Pick Elon Phoenix: +3.5 -110
