Marshall vs. Louisiana-Monroe Prediction

The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks can't score most weeks, and that's not great when they face this Marshall team. The Marshall Thundering Herd, while record-breaking, are 6-0-1 ATS this season, and that's all we care about in this business. Marshall is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite. I doubt Louisiana-Monroe can compete with a top-20 rushing attack and an above-average offense. I will settle points with the thundering herd.
