The college football season produced a new Vegas darling on Saturday.
Elon upset FCS No. 2-ranked James Madison 27-24 on Saturday on Davis Cheek's 15-yard touchdown pass to Avery Jones with 1:17 remaining. It ended the Dukes' record 20-game Colonial Athletic Association winning streak, marking their first conference loss since October 31, 2015.
Perhaps most stunning: Elon closed as 37.5-point underdogs, according to VegasInsider.com. That made Elon's victory the biggest Vegas upset of the college football season thus far, besting Old Dominion's stunner over Virginia Tech as a 28.5-point underdog.
The Phoenix's win was the third-biggest Vegas points spread upset ever.
