HARRISONBURG, Va. – The Sun Belt will live up to its “Fun Belt” nickname in this matchup between the James Madison Dukes and Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. Especially with the high 61-point game total that can see multiple players find the endzone.

There are some questionably high odds on legal sports betting sites for some key players to score a touchdown. Braydon Bennett, Tyler Purdy, and Jameson Tucker are all names to watch for potentially scoring a touchdown.

Braydon Bennett (+100)

The fact that Braydon Bennett has even money to score a touchdown is a gift. He leads Coastal Carolina in total touchdowns scored with five in just three games played. He did miss weeks 3 and 4 after scoring three touchdowns in the first two weeks and came back in Week 5 and scored two more touchdowns.

Tyler Purdy (+110)

Although Purdy is the backup running back, he does get his fair share of rushing attempts averaging roughly five per game. He does have two touchdowns on the season and both of them have come from just 1 yard out solidifying his goal-line usage.

The starting running back, George Pettaway, also has two touchdowns on the year, isn’t the primary redzone threat as both of this touchdowns have come from 25+ yards out. That said, once the Dukes get into the 20, Purdy has higher upside to score.

Jameson Tucker (+140)

This one came as a surprise at +140 considering that Jameson Tucker is the leading receiver for Coastal Carolina. He has two touchdowns on the season and is really a threat from anywhere on the field. He averages 19.9 yards per reception and both of his TD receptions came from 29 and 37 yards out.
