From the booth
The model favored JMU to win, and the call landed.
James Madison's got this one locked up, folks. The model's giving the Dukes a 99 percent win probability, and it's really not close. Vegas has them as a massive 46 and a half point favorite, the betting market agrees, and JMU's Elo rating is simply on another level compared to Wagner. This is about as lopsided as it gets on the FCS slate today.
Why the model leans JMU
