Pick
I’m leaning towards Marshall here. Troy is playing very well, winners of four straight, but they haven’t been the easiest team to stomach on the road prior to the win over Arkansas State, losing to South Alabama, Louisiana and App State all by double-digits. Marshall’s in the mix atop the Sun Belt right now and I don’t see them slowing down with the Trojans coming to town. Give me the Thundering Herd by double-digits.
