Pro Picks
James Madison at Appalachian State
A Sun Belt battle between two powerhouse programs; James Madison went 12-2 last year never allowing more than 28 points. They lost the FCS Championship game to North Dakota State, 20-14. They're 2-0 this season allowing 7 points in each game. James Madison is on a 9-4 run UNDER total and is 9-4 UNDER after allowing 100 or fewer rushing yards in the last game. Appalachian State won 10 games last season behind a defense that allowed 22.1 points per game, including a 25-23 loss at Miami of the ACC. That defense impressed everyone two weeks ago in a 17-14 win over No. 6 Texas A&M allowing just 180 total yards. Appalachian State is 32-17 UNDER the total after gaining 6.25+ yards per play in the last game. James Madison is new to the conference so expect both defenses to step up.
