I don't agree with the action coming in on ODU here, moving Marshall to only -4 on their home floor. Marshall returns home after four on the road where they played much better than expected against Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. I expect the Thundering Herd to push the pace and pick up a win over ODU at home. My simulations have this spread closer to 8 than 4.

The Thundering Herd will push the pace at home, getting the Monarchs into the type of game they despise. Marshall ranks eighth nationally in scoring (88.5). In my simulations, Marshall is covering a whopping 76 percent of the time. I'm projecting a double-digit win. Lay the points.
