Georgia State vs Marshall Prediction
Marshall is the better team with the rest advantage, but the value is with Georgia State and the points. Marshall hasn’t played since February 28 and we have to question how much rest is too much rest. Georgia State is coming off a comfortable win over Georgia Southern yesterday and the offense looked good. Also, neither Georgia State nor Marshall should be scared of this matchup considering the road team won the first two games this season. This has the potential to be interesting. I want the points with Georgia State in my pocket.
