Then I moved onto the over/under. The number is sitting at 54 points. Now, both these teams can put up points, but they can also play some defense. It's a tough call. I spent a good chunk of time looking at their recent games, trying to see if there was a trend. James Madison's been scoring a lot lately, but Southern Miss has had a few lower-scoring games.
I also checked out what the so-called "experts" were saying, and they were all pretty much on the same page. They also see James Madison winning this one and lean towards the over. That made me feel a little more confident in my own analysis, but you know how it is with these things - anything can happen on game day.
After all that, I finally made my picks. I'm going with James Madison to win, and I'm taking the over on the 54 points. I just have a feeling this is going to be a high-scoring affair. Of course, I could be totally wrong, but that's half the fun of it, right?
Here's a quick rundown of what I did:
- Checked the moneyline odds for both teams.
- Examined the over/under point total.
- Analyzed recent game scores for both teams.
- Compared my thoughts with the "experts."
- Finally, I made my prediction for the game.
It was a deep dive, but I feel good about my picks. Now, it is just a matter of waiting for the game and seeing how it all plays out!
