Buy low spot on Marshall, who nearly got bit by a middling FCS opponent last week. This has driven this price up, and frankly, I have a quality offense, led by a now healthy Carlos Del Rio Wilson. He went for 386 through the air, 48 on the ground, 3 passing TDs last week. Defense is still in Year 1 of DC Brad Lambert. I expect improvement. And JMU was aided by lot of short field opportunities against Old Dominion, and cashed in with a 46-20 victory, but keep in mind that was with a backup QB for ODU. I think Marshall has the offensive upside to hang, it’s their balanced run/pass approach that will allow them to move the football here.

Project JMU -17.5; Marshall needed a 4Q comeback to beat Gardner Webb. Nothing in the analytics in favor of the Herd
