College football odds, picks and prediction for James Madison Dukes vs Marshall Thundering Herd. Week 8 betting free pick and game analysis.
Thursday's Sun Belt clash between James Madison and Marshall will make for good TV watching. You have two teams with excellent offenses going toe-to-toe, but our college football betting picks are siding with the team who boast the better defense.The James Madison Dukes continue to be one of the best stories in college football for the past couple of seasons. The Dukes' first season in the FBS saw them go 8-3 and they have followed that up by starting a perfect 6-0 this year.
Meanwhile, that JMU rush defense is putting up some stunning numbers. The Dukes are allowing just 1.7 yards per carry and 39 rushing yards per game. Both rank first in the nation when facing FBS opponents. Additionally, when you look at Marshall’s defensive stats, you’ll see some good numbers against the pass. However, that’s mostly because it’s the Herd who are getting trampled on the ground this season. Marshall ranks 130th in the country in opponent yards per rush vs. FBS opponents allowing teams to rumble for more than six yards per carry.
More on that JMU game plan. I really expect the Dukes to try and take advantage of that porous Marshall run defense. That means running the ball more and moving the clock more. I also expect JMU to be leading this game which should also mean more running, and in turn, fewer passes from McCloud. So, I’m closing this SGP out with the Under 236.5 on his passing yard total.
