img7:30 PM Eastern

Oregon has won six in a row, and the Ducks are 9-4 ATS their past 13 games as favorites and 10-5 ATS their past 15 overall. Their only loss was to undefeated Indiana on Oct. 11, and the Ducks have covered their past three games, averaging 36.7 points per game. Dante Moore has 2,733 passing yards and 24 TDs with just six interceptions. Oregon's defense is #8, allowing 14.8 points per game, and #3 in pass defense, yielding 144.3 per game. James Madison deserves to be in the playoffs due to its 10-1 record, but of course, the Dukes come from the Sun Belt Conference, which is why they are a three-touchdown underdog. The Dukes are 0-4 ATS after allowing fewer than 275 total yards in their previous game. They defeated Troy 31-14 on Dec. 5 to win the conference championship. James Madison is 1-5 ATS after totaling more than 200 yards rushing in its previous game, and it is 1-4 ATS in its past five December games. The Dukes have gone UNDER five straight non-conference games, and they are 11-1 UNDER after yielding fewer than 275 yards in their prior game. Also, the Dukes are 7-1 UNDER after allowing fewer than 20 points in their previous game and 9-2 UNDER after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing. Lay the points with Oregon, and bet this game to stay UNDER.
