One thing we can tell you for Week 9: Marshall is backing No. 4 Alabama (-11.5) to cover at South Carolina in a game that goes Under the total (47.5).
"Close call for Tide last year vs Gamecocks in Tuscaloosa in 27-25 escape," Marshall said. "Bama is 6-0 straight up and, 5-0-1 vs. line since losing opener to Seminoles, and also have gone Under in last four. SC is just 1-3 vs. line at Williams-Brice this season, and also on a 7-2 Under run since late 2024."
Marshall has evaluated every other matchup and he's fading a team that has covered just twice in its past 16 games! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any college football picks.Â
