Unbeaten James Madison visits App State in Thursday night college football

James Madison puts its 7-0 record on the line at Appalachian State on Thursday night, kicking off at 7 p.m. ET on ESPNU from Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, N.C. Two more FBS games share the window: Liberty at Kennesaw State at 7 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network, and East Carolina at Memphis at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2.

James Madison at App State, 7 p.m. ET, ESPNU

The Dukes are 4-0 in Sun Belt play, per ESPN, and come in off a 49-22 home win over Georgia State last Saturday. App State is 4-2 and 2-1 in the league after winning 35-32 at Coastal Carolina on Oct. 17. James Madison is a 12.5-point favorite with a total of 56.5, according to ESPN's odds feed. It is the Dukes' eighth game of the season.

Liberty at Kennesaw State, 7 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network

Liberty is 5-1 and has had extra time to prepare since a 35-3 win over Sam Houston on Oct. 8. Kennesaw State is 1-5 and lost 24-21 at Missouri State on Oct. 14. The game is at Fifth Third Stadium in Kennesaw, Ga., where the Flames are 9.5-point favorites.

East Carolina at Memphis, 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN2

Memphis is 5-2 and hosts East Carolina at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium after a 31-17 loss at Tulane on Oct. 16. The Pirates are 3-3 and lost 30-17 in overtime at UAB on Oct. 15. Memphis is a 10.5-point favorite.

What to watch: whether App State can slow a James Madison team that scored 49 last week, how sharp Liberty looks after two weeks off, and whether Memphis bounces back from the Tulane loss, with East Carolina coming off an overtime loss of its own. Beat Chuck will have recaps of the finals later tonight.
