From the booth
The model favored MRSH to win, and the call landed.
Marshall's got this one looking like a heavy favorite at 82 percent to win, and the model's backing what Vegas is telling us here. That thirteen and a half point spread is doing a lot of the heavy lifting, and the betting market agrees that the Thundering Herd should be in the driver's seat at home today. Middle Tennessee's got a slight edge in offensive efficiency over their last five games, but it's not nearly enough to overcome Marshall's home-field advantage in this one.
