It is understandable why the oddsmaker has set a high total in this Marshall-Coastal Carolina Sun Belt Conference matchup. Both teams are coming off high-scoring victories. Marshall beat Texas State, 40-37, at home, while Coastal Carolina is off a 45-37 road win versus Appalachian State. The Sun Belt is usually a high-scoring conference, and Marshall has gone OVER in each of its last four games. But since Marshall joined the Sun Belt in 2022, these teams have met three times, and each time the game went UNDER —way under. Marshall won last year's meeting, 31-19, at home. That total went UNDER by seven points. Coastal Carolina's 34-6 victory against Marshall in 2023 went UNDER by 7.5 points, and the Chanticleers' 24-13 win versus Marshall in 2022 fell UNDER by 16.5 points. Tough to go against this history. Coastal Carolina ranks 125th in total yards and 131st in passing yards. The Chanticleers also have a major turnover problem, losing the ball 15 times in their seven games. Marshall ranks 24th in takeaways. The Thundering Herd's defensive strength is its run defense. Coastal Carolina is run-oriented. Take the UNDER.

Pro Picks
Coastal Carolina at Marshall
Coastal Carolina had their best season ever a year ago, but the Chanticleers brought back just 7 total starters. They are 6-1 on the season, but what is happening is the offense is showing some decline. The Chanticleers have scored fewer points than the previous game three times in a row. That could be trouble vs a Marshall team that may be the best defense they will have faced thus far this season. Marshall has allowed 23 or fewer points to six of the seven teams on their schedule. The fact the Herd has lost three games speaks more about the lack of punch from their offense. I think Coastal Carolina is going to be held significantly down in this game, and Marshall doesn't have the offensive punch to make it up. I like the UNDER in this contest.
