Marshall vs Arkansas State Prediction
Arkansas State has been the more consistent team this season and has the rest advantage, but how much rest is too much rest? Arkansas State hasn’t played since February 28 and that could create some rust. Marshall is coming off a nice win over Georgia State yesterday that builds some confidence, and the Thundering Herd beat Arkansas State a month ago as a 2.5-point underdog. Marshall is a rhythm team with a decent offense that can surprise some folks at times. This game could be closer than expected. I’ll grab the points with Marshall.
