As often happens, when a team makes the Top 25 for the first time ever or for in a long time it goes out and loses its next game. That's what happened to James Madison as it lost 45-38 as a 13-point favorite against Georgia Southern. The Dukes are double-digit favorites again and this time against Marshall, which has beaten Notre Dame. The Thundering Herd did have a bad game against UL Lafayette losing 23-13 as they couldn't get much going through the air and Cam Fancher and Henry Colombi combined for only 16 completions and 137 yards with no TDs. Khalan Laborn rushed for 120 yards with two TDs for the Herd. James Madison piled up 675 total yards and still lost to the Eagles, who had only 12 net yards rushing. Marshall has stayed UNDER five of six games this season and the Dukes are 9-4 UNDER their past 13 after totaling at least 450 yards their previous game. Marshall has allowed only 15.3 points per game its last three games and are getting way too many points in this matchup. Take Marshall and the UNDER.
