Premium Pick

James Madison saw their football team just miss going unbeaten this season, and the basketball team has equal billing. The Dukes got off to a 14-0 start, beforee losing their last game at Southern Miss 81-71. A lot of time after an extended winning streak comes to an end, the team is flat coming out for their next game, especially when facing what is considered a weak opponents. South Alabama fits that label as the Jaguars are +13.5 as of this writing. South Alabama is 8-7 on the season and covered +15 at Maryland, and I don't think this James Madison team is on the same level as Maryland, so the line just looks off to me, especially after the Dukes lost for the first time all season. Make the play on South Alabama.

1 unit on South Alabama +13.5 (-120) (risk 1 to return 1.83)
