James Madison Dukes vs La Salle Explorers Point Spread Picks

The oddsmakers depict this one about even, but I disagree. James Madison took care of a rather mediocre Canisius team by just 9 points at home, but was out-shot from the field, from the arc and from the free throw line. They also committed more turnovers, and were beaten off the glass. They won't be able to get away with that on the road vs. a much better opponent. La Salle easily handled their inferior opponent, pasting Lafayette by 26 points and took Villanova to overtime before bowing by 7. The Dukes have dropped their last five after a win dating back to last year, and those inconsistencies are a product of mediocrity. The explorers are battle tested and are looking good here. La Salle gets the loot.
