Marshall at NC State

NC State got beaten up by Notre Dame who is a playoff contender, but otherwise, the Wolfpack has been tenacious on defense. NC State in their other four games is allowing fewer than 14 PPG. The offense has struggled all season and has averaged a paltry 302 total yards per game against their four FBS opponents. Marshall has to feel good with their 4-0 start. Marshall has been great against the pass as they are allowing just a 51% completion rate, 143 passing yards per game, and just 4.5 yards per pass attempt, which are all elite numbers. NC State has been a below-average running team this season, and they will likely struggle to put the ball in the air. I see lots of obstacles for both offenses here, and a low-scoring ugly game is the likely result. Make the play UNDER the total.
