Marshall vs Georgia Southern Prediction

Marshall comes into this matchup on a two game winning streak, but they have scored 21 or fewer points in three of their last four. The Thundering Herd have had issues with consistency at the quarterback spot, but they will go with Zion Turner here. Georgia Southern has won three of their last four games and they have allowed a total of 18 points in their last two. The Eagles aren’t flashy, but they have a decent defense and Max Johnson has a ton of experience at quarterback. I think Georgia Southern will get the win, but I think it will be a one possession game. Take Marshall and the points here.
