Marshall vs Arkansas State Prediction

The Arkansas State Red Wolves are the better team with an above-average defense, and they’ve won six road games this season. Arkansas State has also covered eight of its last 10 games to improve to 14-8 ATS overall. However, let’s not act like Marshall is a pushover, especially at home where it’s 11-3 SU. Marshall has also covered eight of its last 10 games and has these contests where the offense explodes. It won’t be easy for Marshall to find consistent clean looks, but the Thundering Herd are a tough out at home regardless. Should be a fun Sun Belt contest. I’ll grab the points with Marshall at home.
