Marshall at Middle Tennessee State

The Marshall Thundering Herd comes into this Thursday Night contest with a 4-2 record, but more importantly, 2-0 in Conference USA play, leading C-USA East. The 4-2 record may look impressive, but the Herd has gotten their four wins vs. teams that have a combined record of 4-17. And, one other team, Gardner Webb, is not even in the FBS. Marshall is just 10-23 ATS in their last 33 road games when posted as a favorite. Middle Tennessee has played well at home. Their biggest test was a seven-point loss to East Carolina. ECU is a better than Marshall and this line is similar, so there's value in this line. The Herd is just 2-9-2 ATS in their last 11 on the road vs. a losing team. The Blue Raiders enter off a bye, where they have gone 4-0 ATS in their last four. With the extra time to rest and prepare, play on Middle Tennessee.
