Georgia Southern vs Marshall Prediction
Georgia Southern has five road wins and dropped 101 points on Marshall’s head a couple of weeks ago. The points are worth a look. However, Georgia Southern is 2-8 SU and 1-9 ATS in its last 10 games. Marshall has had covering issues as well, but it has 13 home wins and needs this game to give itself a chance at the top seed in the Sun Belt Tournament. I expect Marshall to take this game seriously. I’ll lay the points with Marshall over a struggling Georgia Southern side.
