Marshall Thundering Herd vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish Point Spread Picks

Mike Brey saw his team struggle through a season last year with injuries. That gave him a chance to create some depth as the Irish are mended and have all five starters back. This team is strong defensively, holding high-scoring North Carolina to 76 points and their last opponents shot under 34%. Marshall has little chance of staying with the Irish here which should mean a lot of garbage time quite early in the second half, and the scoring will slow down considerably. This total may be right if it was anticipated to be a competitive game, but it won't be. Play on the UNDER.
