Prediction Contest: JMU vs. Villanova
It’s an exciting week for JMU fans, but let’s not forget that there’s a game Saturday. And it’s a big one against a very talented Villanova Wildcats team. A win would push the Dukes’ winning streak to an amazing 18 games. It would also take a little bit of the sting out of the loss JMU suffered last time Lee Corso and the crew came to town.
So let’s get going with the predictions. It’s the same as it ever was. Leave a comment below with your prediction for Saturday’s game. The person who comes closest to nailing it (winner & score) will get to write a guest post. It’s that easy. Now let us know you think is going to win, power through the next three days of work, and we’ll see you all on the Quad Saturday morning. Go Dukes!
20-10 JMU
27 to 14 JMU. I think it’ll be similar to the Delaware game. JMU has a better D statiscally, better Offense by a long shot, against a freshman QB. I think coach uses the last Gameday loss to motivate the players even more.
30-21 Deyukes
Cats 10
Dukes 35
24-10 DUKES!
Nova – 12
JMU – 42
I think the team regroups after the bye week and the offense we’re used to has a break-out game.
JMU 31
Nova 13
Mark it down
JMU 38
Nova 10
JMU 27 team not from Philly 14
Can’t wait to be back at the quad for Gameday!
31 – 3 our Dukes roll
Same score I posted for Delaware:
Madison 24, Nova 17. Must contain any unconventional plays by Nova.
Dogs – 34
Cats – 16
Go Dukes!!!
JMU 35 – Nova 17
GO DUKES!!
This game w the Wildcats is going to be very physical and hard fought with the tenacious Cats coming up just short by a score of 17/14 Playing against a freshman qb and Nova limited still w injuries should help the Dukes to get by in this highly contested matchup. Dukes must stay focused! Forget about ESPN n the hype n fanfare. This game will take 110% combined focused turnover free football from the Dukes to win. Even down key starters the cats will give the Dukes all they can handle….
Dukes get the offense rolling again. 45-17 Dukes
23-13 good guys
28-24, Dukes.
Dukes need to come out of the gate strong on Offense.
The VU 31-0 over Maine score makes me nervous.
We couldn’t do that and VU used a back up QB.
Dukes 27
Cats 10
Close but JMU pulls it out. Coach Houston has team motivated to extend the streak.
28-13 JMU
24-10 Dukes.
@delonerm, I think 3 TDs in that game were scored by Villanova’s D. I could be wrong, but I think I heard that on one of those FCS podcasts. Not to discount the win.
38-24 in favor of JMU
28-20 Dukes. Very physical game. Hope the bye week helps, not hurts
17-6 good guys
JMU 42-17
It’ll be close till the 4th qtr
21-14 Dukes
30 -14 Dukes roll!!
I’m going with 24-13 Dukes, but a bit nervously. Just glad to see Coach locking the damn gates this time around. Oh, and I’m cool with no new helmet reveal.
JMU – 24
Nova – 6
JMU – 24
Nova – 14

17 to 3 JMU. Their defense is stout, but we should contain them offensively.
Duke Dogs 34
