Boise State Broncos vs Marshall Thundering Herd Point Spread Picks

The Boise State Broncos played against Florida State last week and it looked very bad for this team early. They were down 31-13 with four minutes to play in the second quarter, but scored the game's last 23 points to come away with a hard-fought 36-31 win. That may leave this team a bit mentally, physically, and emotionally spent as they take on Marshall at home. Marshall was the Boise State of Mid-American Conference from 1997-2005 where they went 65-12. They were down for a bit but the program is rising, having won nine games or more in four of the last six years. The Thundering Herd certainly has a lot of good pieces from a nine-win team from last season. While Boise State bowed its back last week, there are still a lot of question marks surrounding this team that has lost its four-year starting QB, top running back, and top two receivers from last year's team as well as a lot of pieces from their defense. I think Marshall has the pedigree of not being intimidated here and catching Boise State in a tough spot. Play on Marshall.
