One of his top picks: Marshall is backing Memphis (+5.5) to cover against NC State in the Gasparilla Bowl on Dec. 19.

"NC State coach Dave Doeren is 3-6 SU and 4-5 vs. the spread in bowls for NC State, losing last five outright and just 1-4 vs. spread in those five," Marshall said.

Marshall has evaluated every other matchup and he's backing a team on an 8-2 spread run! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any college football picks.
