Oregon vs James Madison Preview & Picks
Oregon are tipped to make straightforward work of James Madison in the playoffs.
The Ducks have put the loss to Indiana firmly behind them, with the defense shutting down opponent after opponents, and they should have far too much for the Dukes.
- Oregon have covered in each of their last 3 games
- Oregon have covered in 5 of their 8 games as a double digit favorite with 1 push
- The Over has cashed in each of Oregon’s last 2 home games
- The Over has hit in 5 of James Madison’s previous 7 games
Head To Head
- This is the first ever meeting between the two schools
Oregon Form
Oregon go into the college football playoffs having rebounded from the loss to Indiana with a six-game win streak to finish the regular season 11-1.
The Ducks opened with back-to-back non-conference wins, before downing Northwestern on the road, 34-14, in their Big Ten opener.
They then blew out Oregon State, 41-7, before returning to conference action with a big 30-24 victory at a Penn State ranked in the top three by AP at the time.
Oregon were brought back down to Earth a week later as they lost 30-10 at home to Indiana, but they issued an immediate response in the form of a 56-10 rout of Rutgers, and they have been on a roll since.
The Ducks backed up that victory with a 21-7 win over Wisconsin, and then beat Iowa 18-16 on the road before returning home to beat Minnesota, 42-13, and USC, 42-27.
They then wrapped up the regular season, and secured a playoff place, by winning 26-14 in Washington last time out.
James Madison Form
James Madison booked their spot in the college football playoffs by winning the Sun Belt Championship.
The Dukes opened the season by going 2-1 in non-conference action, including a 28-14 defeat in Louisville, but once the Sun Belt schedule got underway they went on a tear.
They opened with a 35-10 win over Georgia Southern, and then backed up a 14-7 victory at Georgia State with home wins over Louisiana, 24-14, and Old Dominion, 63-27.
James Madison went out on the road over the next couple of games and downed Texas State 52-20 and Marshall 35-23, earning themselves a spot in the rankings.
The Dukes retained that spot with a 58-10 blowout of Appalachian State and a 24-20 victory over non-conference opponents Washington State.
They then closed out the regular season campaign with a 59-10 demolition of Coastal Carolina, before beating Troy 31-14 for the conference championship.
Verdict
James Madison deservedly lifted them conference crown, but they are simply not on Oregon’s level.
We expect the Ducks to make straightforward work of the Dukes to advance in the college football playoffs.
