. This is the only college football game on tonight. JMU is favored by 7 points and the total is 52( Five Dimes) Does anyone know anything about these teams and the lines. I just want to place a small bet to keep me interested in the game while I'm knocking back a few Coors. Any feedback ?

I'm on JMU tonight. Full disclosure... I'm a Duke.

Didn't get a good read on this game when I was looking it over. My buddy tells me James Madison is going to win the FCS title though so they must be pretty good. Not sure about giving 7 though, but I'd lean with them.

Line is currently -12/57

'04 Championship game rematch, when JMU won 31-21 in their only other meeting. MT avenged an earlier 45-28 loss to Weber St with a 24-13 win LW. The Grizzlies only had a 427-386 yd edge over the Wildcats but were +3 TO. JMU tied a tm rec'd with 12 straight wins as they beat Villanova for a 2nd time TY, this time by 4. The Dukes had 23-15 FD & 389-310 yd edges over the Wildcats. MT is led by QB Cole Bergquist (196 ypg, 61%, 25-7 ratio) who is also the #3 rusher (322, 2.3). RB Chase Reynolds leads the team with 1,413 (5.8) and 19 rush TD. WR Marc Mariani has 59 rec (18.4) with 15 TD. The Dukes are led by Walter Payton Awd finalist QB Rodney Landers, who is avg 117 ypg (64%) with a 21-4 ratio and is the top rusher with 1,686 (6.7) and 16 TD. RB Eugene Holloman is the #2 rusher with 941 (5.4). Both have outscored foes by an avg of 16.8 ppg but JMU has faced a tougher schedule. The Grizzlies have faced just 4 playoff teams (3-1) while JMU has faced 6 playoff teams (6-0) and IA Duke. Montana also faces a long flight here and we look for them to go home disappointed.

I was going to tease the Dukes. I would consider Montana at +12.

I'm also a Duke and I can say we simply don't blow out elite teams so the 12 seems high to me. I guess the question is - is Montana a legit team?

The over may be the best bet IMO.

My play, a light one, is a chalky teaser: JMU -6 and Richmond -2.

It's a shame Appalachain State got knocked out. They've been money in the bank betting them in semifinal games and finals for the last three years. You could always count on them to score in droves.

I'll also be watching tonight's game for any possible 2H angles.

I went to 3 Grizz games this year and I can tell you the Grizz can't blow anyone out either.

They have covered 5 of their last 6 as favorites but they will have a tough time scoring more than 28 tonight or against anyone.

Montana's defense is legit at home. Not sure about the road.

How the hell does JMU ave 39 pts a game if all they do is run-run-run???

And when a team like that falls behind, kinda tough to play catchup.

Why can't they mix in the pass to keep the Defense honest??? Guess the QBs can't throw shit...:nohead:

JMU would be up a couple of td's if they wouldn't turn over the damn ball.

pound montana +3 for the second half. landers is the madison offense - if he's done it's going to be ugly. the 2nd string QB is as green as the cash in Montana backers wallets.
