Marshall is averaging 75.8 points and they are going to put the pressure on here. Coastal Carolina is averaging 67.6 points but they are going to have no issue running up the score. I really don’t trust the Marshall defense, and they are going to really struggle here. Neither team is going to play any sort of defense and this game is going to end up being a shootout. Back the over to cash.
