Coastal Carolina vs James Madison Betting Prediction
Since McCall is anticipated to miss the remainder of the college football regular season with a foot injury, Coastal's chances of competing in a bowl game may be in jeopardy. Coastal is a dangerous squad, but they will be without McCall in this game.
Given that their attack is so dependent on their quarterback, Jamey Chadwell's situation is difficult. The Dukes are at home, and they possess a great home record, so they should be able to come up with a win tonight and cover the spread.
Pick: Dukes -14.5 (-110)
