T.M. Selection: Marshall.

I like the Marshall to cover the spread against Appalachian State on Thursday. Marshall has not had any troubles of offense this season, scoring almost 40 points in every single game. Their offense is spread out evenly as they have a good running game and passing game that they can use to move the ball down the field well. They suffered their first loss of the season last week against East Carolina, losing that one by 4. App State has also looked good on offense as they have been scoring some points in their games. Their 1 loss came against Miami by 2 points. The last time these 2 teams played was last year and Marshall won that game 17-7. This will be a game that both teams are going to get up for so I like it to stay close as I think no one is going to pull away by a lot here. Marshall will also be looking to repeat the result from last year. Both teams are strong enough where their goals for the season are to win their own conference titles. I expect this game to be close between 2 good offensive teams here so I like Marshall to cover.

T.M. Prediction: 30-27 App State.
