Marshall vs. Western Kentucky Prediction

I’m on Marshall here. I think WKU wins the game at home, but Marshall’s been competitive against teams around their level while WKU has been able to beat up on bad teams but hasn’t been as strong against teams on or above their level. I think Marshall keeps this one close so give me the Herd and the points.
