James Madison vs UConn: College Football Week 11 Odds & Picks

by |

The 5-5 trend continues. Florida State was without Keon Coleman but I’m not sure that would have helped and the offense went to bed before the start of the Stanford-Washington State game. This week I’m in on James Madison impressing, a shootout after dark, and a covering trend!  Time to break the cycle! Here are my top picks of the week. Below we dive into James Madison vs Connecticut.

James Madison vs Connecticut

UConn is ROUGH on defense so far this season ranking 111th against the pass, and 112th against the run which adds up to 117th in Points Allowed Per Game. UConn ranks 99th in overall PFF grade and it’s all bad this season for the Huskies. JMU is top 25 in Time of Possession, UConn is 126th in 3rd down conversions allowed and they have allowed 30+ points in 5/9 games so far. The only positive stat for the Huskies defense is that they have been decent in the red zone but James Madison is t-24th in plays over 40 yards this season and can score from anywhere on the field.  

James Madison is running downhill on offense right now which is the biggest reason I like this Over. They put up 500+ yards and held the ball for over 40 minutes against Georgia State last week, put up over 450 yards of offense against Old Dominion two weeks ago, 400+ against a good defense in Marshall, and scored 41 against Georgia Southern four weeks ago. Marshall and Troy have been the only teams to hold the Dukes below 30 points and if we take those weeks out JMU is averaging over 37 PPG.

I think we get 40+ from JMU and shouldn’t have to rely too much on the Huskies scoring to sail way past this Total!
