James Madison saw their football team just miss going unbeaten this season, and the basketball team has equal billing. The Dukes got off to a 14-0 start, beforee losing their last game at Southern Miss 81-71. A lot of time after an extended winning streak comes to an end, the team is flat coming out for their next game, especially when facing what is considered a weak opponents. South Alabama fits that label as the Jaguars are +13.5 as of this writing. South Alabama is 8-7 on the season and covered +15 at Maryland, and I don't think this James Madison team is on the same level as Maryland, so the line just looks off to me, especially after the Dukes lost for the first time all season. Make the play on South Alabama.

Pro Picks
James Madison at South Alabama
This total has been posted rather lightly as James Madison has played UNDER the total four-straight. This is a fast-paced team that scored 100 or more points in four of eight games prior to the UNDER-run. They also had another game where they scored 97. South Alabama has also played four-straight games UNDER the total, so a lot will look at that and drop down on the UNDER. James Madison can really score and the fact is when a pair of college basketball teams meet with both teams on a 4-game or longer streak of playing UNDER the total, the OVER is 14-8 the last 22 instances. I will play this one OVER the total.
