Duquesne is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 games overall. Marshall is 2-8-2 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 2-6-2 ATS in their last 10 home games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a loss.
This game features two solid offenses (and one in Marshall that’s really good ) against a pair of subpar and almost porous defenses that leak points left and right. This is a high total, but I think we get into the 160s here. Give me the over.
