Marshall vs Louisiana-Monroe Prediction

The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks can’t score most weeks, and that’s not great when going up against this Marshall side. The Marshall Thundering Herd may be average record-wise, but they’re 6-0-1 ATS on the season, and that’s all we care about in this business. Marshall is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games as a home favorite. With a top-20 rushing attack and an above-average scoring offense, I doubt Louisiana-Monroe can keep up. I’ll lay the points with the Thundering Herd.
