James Madison +20.5 (-105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Though Autzen is sure to be a raucous environment on Saturday night, a 21-point margin just feels too much against a James Madison team that went 8-5 against the spread with an average ATS margin of plus-7.5 this season.

Oregon had just four wins by 21-plus points against FBS competition this season. Those came against Oklahoma State (123rd in overall adjusted efficiency), Oregon State (121st), Rutgers (74th), and Minnesota (69th). James Madison ranks 30th in overall adjusted efficiency and has an average margin of victory of plus-21.5 PPG.

Our Rob Paul backs Oregon to cover on the strength of the Ducks' talent advantage in his James Madison vs. Oregon predictions.

Dante Moore Under 228.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Dante Moore has fallen short of this passing total in five out of 12 games (41.6%) and faces a James Madison defense that ranks 14th in the FBS in defending the pass. The Dukes allow just 178.8 passing yards per game.

Oregon ranks 102nd in pass attempts per game and could look to keep things on the ground to expose James Madison to the size and physicality of Big Ten football. James Madison has gone five straight games without permitting a 200-plus-yard passer.

Kenyon Sadiq anytime TD scorer (-145) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq has eight touchdowns on the season and has scored in six of his 11 games played (54.5%). The implied probability at these -145 odds is slightly higher at 59.18%.

Despite Sadiq having the likeliest odds of any player in this game to score, parlaying his ATD prop with Dante Moore’s passing yards Under provides a stronger SGP odds boost than choosing either Oregon running back to score, since any TD for the tight end is likely to come through the air.

Our Philip Wood backs Sadiq to score twice as part of his James Madison vs. Oregon player props, while Mike Spector thinks outside of the box for a play involving the Ducks tight end in his James Madison vs. Oregon anytime touchdown scorer predictions.
