James Madison vs. Oregon prediction
🦆 Oregon -20.5 (-115)
This is truly a David vs. Goliath matchup, except this time, David has no chance. If James Madison were playing another team in the first round, I'd have some belief they could cover. But this Oregon program is ranked No. 4 in the country by SP+.
