The Dukes are laying more than six touchdowns Saturday vs. Bucknell. Yet, smart money doesn’t mind laying the points on the second-year FBS club.
James Madison to cover the spread is generating the sharp-action tool in PRO, with at least one respected bettor laying it with the home team.
PRO Report Pick: James Madison ATS
Central Arkansas vs. Oklahoma State Pick

Although Oklahoma State is receiving nine of every 10 bets against the spread, Central Arkansas is attracting sharp action Saturday as big underdogs.
PRO Report Pick: Central Arkansas ATS
