8-Unit Play. Take #442 James Madison (-3) over Liberty (4 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 29)
This is a rare FCS play for me. These games are not usually lined. But that is an advantage to the player. The sportsbooks don’t have a great read on these teams and don’t normally have to put spreads on their games. So these games always have soft numbers that can be beaten. I have some contacts with the James Madison team. I have been talking to people this week and they are telling me that Liberty is cooked. They said they don’t have nearly as much talent as JMU and this spread isn’t even close. I’m hearing that Liberty is just happy to be in the playoffs but they don’t have any prayer of advancing. This is Liberty’s first-ever playoff appearance. They are coming off an upset win over Coastal Carolina. They won’t pull two upsets in a row. James Madison was an at-large team and they are considered one of the threats to win it all. They are going to run away in this one and I expect a blowout winner here.
Great call. Your other picks buried people today as well. Doesn't matter what the final two game results were.
I am sure this will be removed, but for transparency it shouldn't. The game is over.
