James Madison at Coastal Carolina odds, picks and predictions

The James Madison Dukes (10-1, 6-1 Sun Belt) and Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (7-4, 5-2) meet Saturday at Brooks Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the James Madison vs. Coastal Carolina odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Dukes suffered their 1st loss of the season in a 26-23 OT setback in Harrisonburg last weekend against Appalachian State as the Under (56.5) connected. JMU also entered that game with a 7-1 against the spread (ATS) mark in the prior 8 games, so the non-cover was a rarity, too.

The Chanticleers were tripped up 28-21 at Army last week in a non-conference battle, snapping a 5-game win and cover streak. The 21 points were the fewest scored since losing 30-17 against Georgia State back on Sept. 21.

These teams have met 3 times before, with JMU paddling Coastal 47-7 in Harrisonburg on Nov. 26, 2022, as the Dukes covered as 15-point favorites with the Over (53) just coming through. JMU leads the all-time series 2-1.
