Notre Dame is favored by 20.5 points at Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under is set at 50 (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our college football odds page). 

Before making any Marshall vs. Notre Dame picks, you NEED to check out the college football predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,500 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It enters Week 2 of the 2022 college football season on a 48-37 run on all top-rated college football spread and money-line picks that dates back to 2021. Anyone who has followed it has seen huge returns.

The model knows Notre Dame is looking to bounce back after falling to No. 3 Ohio State last week. The Fighting Irish have playmakers on both sides of the ball. Junior tight end Michael Mayer is one of the most impactful offensive players. Mayer owns soft hands and RAC ability. Junior linebacker Jack Kiser made consistent plays for the defensive unit. In the loss to Ohio State, he logged six total stops. 

The model also knows Marshall has two extremely talented tailbacks. The Thundering Herd rushing attack was on point in the season opener, where they logged 380 rushing yards. Sophomore running back Ethan Payne led the team with 11 carries for 110 yards and two scores. Senior running back Khalan Laborn also added 102 yards along with two touchdowns. This duo can cause serious damage. 

Now, it has set its sights on Marshall vs. Notre Dame. We can tell you the model is leaning Under the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in more than 60% of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college football picks.
