The under is 5-2 in Fighting Irish last 7 home games.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are capable of blowing the doors off here, and they'll be motivated for a bounce back showing at home after falling apart late against Ohio State. The line is probably accurate. With that said, Marshall isn't a pushover as the Thundering Herd have racked up some nice wins over the years, and they have some high level talent on the offensive side. Marshall has playmakers at receiver, and Colombi is talented enough to where he's 2 other programs signed off on him. Notre Dame should win, but we're getting almost 3 free touchdowns with the road team. Give me the Thundering Herd.
Randy’s Pick Marshall Thundering Herd +20.5
