As you can tell from the lack of posts lately, we took full advantage of the break to rest up and get ready for the stretch run. Or something like that. Anyway, JMU welcomes the Rhode Island Rams to Bridgeforth on Saturday for a Homecoming clash. It&#8217;s a match-up of two teams going in complete opposite directions. JMU is 6-1 and looking to build momentum before a couple tough games against fellow CAA contenders. URI is 1-6 and looking to break the seal for its first CAA win of the year. The Rams are currently 31 point underdogs (FEPO). A win would be an upset along the lines of SMU over Houston. Even a moral victory seems unlikely.<\/p>\n<p>But enough about that. We want to know your prediction for the game. Leave a comment letting us know who you think will win and what the final score will be. The person who comes closest to nailing it (winner &amp; score) will get to write a guest post. Easy as pie. So give us your prediction below and then get back to planning your Homecoming tailgate.<\/p>\n<p>Go Dukes!<\/p>\n<p>Keep Rootin!<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fjmusportsblog.com%2F%3Fp%3D8990&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dukes are ready to break out of the bye week and so are we.
