Old Dominion at James Madison

October 18, 2025
img3:30 PM Eastern

Old Dominion had its four-game win streak end in a 48-24 loss to Marshall, but the Monarchs still are 10-4 ATS in their past 14 road games as they look to get back on track against James Madison, which has feasted on an easy schedule so far this season. Old Dominion is also in a revenge spot after losing to the Dukes 35-32 last year. The Monarchs are 8-0 ATS in their past eight games on the road after allowing more than 35 points in their previous game. James Madison has not covered its past two games against Georgia State and Louisiana as the Dukes were way overvalued, although they are just a slight favorite in this game. The Monarchs are led by QB Colton Joseph, who has thrown for 1,481 yards and 13 TDs, and Trequan Jones, who has 477 yards rushing on 8.8 per carry. Jones set a school record against North Carolina Central with a 93-yard touchdown run. Take Old Dominion.
