James Madison rolls into Pratt & Whitney Stadium as the best offense on the field, and UConn is trying to find anything that works on either side of the ball.

## The matchup

James Madison's last five games have been a mixed bag: a 54-23 win over Southern Miss Golden Eagles, back-to-back losses to Troy Trojans (21-24) and App State Mountaineers (31-34), then wins over Georgia State Panthers (49-22) and Georgia Southern Eagles (27-24). The Dukes have scored 406 points on the season against 193 allowed, numbers that point to an offense that can put teams away in a hurry even when it stumbles on a given week.

UConn's stretch has been rockier. The Huskies lost their last two, falling 21-38 to North Carolina Tar Heels and 26-35 to Air Force Falcons, after wins over Massachusetts Minutemen (35-16) and Temple Owls (34-20) and an earlier loss to Syracuse Orange (41-42). UConn has scored 296 points and allowed 240, a split that suggests a team capable of hanging around but prone to letting games get away late.

## Key matchups

The number to watch is James Madison's defense, which has allowed just 193 points on the season, against a UConn offense that has found 296 points of its own. If the Dukes' defense holds up to its season-long form, it could be the difference, since UConn's attack has shown it can score in bunches but also stall out, as the losses to North Carolina and Air Force show.

On the other side, James Madison's offense, averaging out to 406 points for the year, will be tested by a UConn defense that's given up 240. Whichever unit wins its side of the ball first is likely to set the tone early.

## The pick

The market has James Madison as a 4.0-point favorite with a total of 57.5, and the market score projects a 31-27 final in the Dukes' favor. That lines up with the season-long numbers: James Madison's defense has been stingier and its offense more productive, while UConn is trying to snap a two-game slide at home. Expect a competitive game that leans toward the visitors late.
