Game Analysis

JMU enters as the stronger program based on recent FBS production, but the -6 spread is a model projection with no market confirmation. The moneyline edge is negligible; the spread cover is the most exploitable angle at 58% confidence. Total leans under but with very thin edge. All picks capped at 65% confidence per display tier rules, reflecting the uncertified nature of this analysis.
