James Madison vs Old Dominion Predictions

Published on

James Madison is on the road playing Old Dominion at the Chartway Arena stadium on Thursday, 2/2/2023 @ 7:00pm EST. James Madison is the betting favorite opening at -1.5 and the line hasn't moved.

The Old Dominion Monarchs (13-9, 5-5) host the James Madison Dukes (15-8, 6-4) on Thursday in a Sun Belt Conference game. A second meeting will take place on February 16 between these two teams.

Taking on James Madison on the road

Following wins over Coastal Carolina (75-69) and UL Monroe (58-45), James Madison is on a two-game winning streak. Currently, Duke is tied for fourth place in the Sun Belt, two games behind Southern Miss and Louisiana. The team will now look to continue their winning streak on the road, where they are 5-5 this season. In terms of KenPom ratings, James Madison ranks 93rd, 64th in adjusted defensive efficiency, and 151st in offensive efficiency. In terms of scoring, the Dukes are 10th with 82.9 points per game, and in terms of shooting, they are 36th with 47.7%.

In Sun Belt play, ODU hopes to reach .500

After winning their last two road games, Old Dominion is on a two-game winning streak after beating South Alabama 66-64 and Coastal Carolina 60-59. Currently ranked seventh among 14 Sun Belt teams, the Monarchs have a 5-5 conference record. Based on the KenPom ratings, the Monarchs rank 178th overall. Among defenses ranked in the top-80 for few opponents' points allowed, field goals allowed, and three-point percentage allowed, the defense is 161st. In terms of adjusted efficiency, the offense ranks 205th.

In the last seven games at home, ODU has gone 2-5 against the spread, and the odds makers are overestimating their edge in this matchup. Despite the fact that both teams rebound the ball well, James Madison is the more explosive offensive team and also the more solid defensive team. A 35-point win over Buffalo this season, and a tight five-point loss to Virginia have demonstrated how dangerous the Dukes can be in both low- and high-scoring games this season. James Madison is an example.
