The Thundering Herd are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games on turf.

The over is 7-2 in 49ers last 9 conference games. The under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

The Marshall Thundering Herd are the more trustworthy team here, but they’re certainly not unbeatable, and their inability to stop the run is an issue on the road. The Charlotte 49ers have covered four of their last five home games and have played their best football at home this season. This is also homecoming for Charlotte, a roster that has 32 seniors. Charlotte can also clinch a bowl spot with a victory here. Expect a motivated team. I’ll take my chances with the points.
