James Madison Looks For Fourth Straight Win
The James Madison Dukes have won three games in a row going into Saturday’s James Madison vs App State matchup in college football. They are coming off of a 35-32 road win over Old Dominion in that game and they will look for a fourth straight win here. A win here would keep James Madison at most a game behind Marshall for the top spot in their division in the Sun Belt, as the Dukes need to keep winning and get some help from the Thundering Herd to win their division and get to the conference championship game.
App State Playing For Third Straight Home Win
While the Appalachian State Mountaineers are out of contention to win the Sun Belt Conference this season, they are still playing for pride after dealing with plenty of adversity along the way. Here, the Mountaineers will look to recover from a loss in their last game against Coastal Carolina. Fortunately for App State, they are back at home, where they have won their last two games over Old Dominion and Georgia State.
James Madison vs App State Prediction
We are expecting a competitive matchup in this James Madison vs Appalachian State contest. We will take the points with App State, as they should continue to play well on their home turf here, even if they don’t have conference title hopes to motivate them. Expect some nerves from James Madison, who have no room for error the rest of the way, and for this game to be decided by a possession in either direction.
