From the booth

The model favored JMU to win, and the call landed.

James Madison is favored in this one, sitting at fifty-eight percent to win at home, but listen, this is a lot closer than that number might suggest. Liberty's been playing some solid football lately, and their defense has been stingy over the last five games, which is keeping the Flames right in this thing. Vegas actually likes Liberty just a touch, spotting JMU six points, but the Dukes get a little help from the betting market believing in them at home. This feels like a classic FCS matchup where field position and execution are gonna determine who gets out of Harrisonburg with the win.
