Marshall at Southern Miss

Marshall is not Thundering on offense lately, with QB Chase Litton throwing 10 TDs and seven picks his last five games. Their top two running backs are averaging just 4.1 yards per carry. They also are not winning many games, winless on the road while scoring 27 and 21 points. Marshall was an 8.5-favorite at home last week and scored 24 points in a loss to Charlotte. Marshall is 7-3 UNDER the total after a defeat, plus 20-9 UNDER after getting fewer than 100 yards rushing in their previous game. They face a Southern Mississippi defense that has played better than the stats suggest and played a pair of games against the SEC already, including last week's 45-10 loss at LSU. Southern Mississippi is 7-3 UNDER the total against a team with a losing record. Last year's game sailed UNDER in a 31-10 Marshall win as Southern Miss had seven second-half possessions, all of which ended with a fumble, an interception or a turnover on downs. Marshall won despite just 163 yards passing on offense and 114 yards rushing, only 3.3 yards per carry. Take this one to finish UNDER.
