Louisiana-Monroe vs James Madison Prediction

The James Madison Dukes have scored 133 points in their last 2 Games and just aren’t a team I’m excited to step in front of right now. The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks just don’t have the offensive horses to keep up, as they’re 129th in total offense and 114th in scoring offense. James Madison should be able to get whatever it wants on the offensive end. I’ll lay the points with the Dukes on the road.
