James Madison prefers to run the football behind RB George Pettaway. He ran for 980 yards last season (6.0 ypc) and had 99 yards on 10 carries in the opener. The team ran for 313 yards in a rout of Weber State. QB Alonza Barnett is also a good runner. The defense was No. 1 in the conference last season and returns All-Sun Belt star Immanuel Bush up front, along with a good linebacking corps. James Madison is on a 9-5 run UNDER the total, including 4-2 UNDER on the road. Louisville can also run the football behind RB Isaac Brown, who ran for 126 yards in the opener. New QB Miller Moss is still a question mark and threw two interceptions against Eastern Kentucky. The Cardinals return a strong front seven on defense, so anticipate plenty of running that chews up yards and the clock to stay UNDER this high total. Play James Madison/Louisville UNDER the total.
