The James Madison Dukes come into the New Year with a record of 7-4, taking on the 6-7 Old Dominion Monarchs. It might look odd to see a 7-4 club as a home dog vs. a team with a losing record, but the answer lies in scheduling. While Old Dominion was battling the likes of Missouri State, Florida, Kentucky, Fairfied, Richmond and Central Florida, the Dukes were posting their seven wins vs. teams with a combined record of 29-62. There isn't a team with a winning record on the entire schedule of wins. Old Dominion may be 6-7, but the schedule says this is a winning team, so I'll back Old Dominion in this one as James Madison is now 8-22-1 ATS in their last 31 at home.
