1. They are 1 of the best teams historically ever @ home(not winning in general but playing tough, usually can cover the spread)
2. There QB "In two home games, he is 41-of-59 for 524 yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions. But the Herd are second-to-last in C-USA in rushing and 105th in the nation (101 yards per game). They managed just 52 yards on the ground against Southern Miss."
3. "Marshall is 6-2 all-time playing on Wednesday nights. The Herd are 121-20 overall at Joan C. Edwards Stadium for a winning percentage of .858. That’s the best in Division I for any team in its current stadium"
1.UCF on national tv are MONSTERS.
2."UCF leads the all-time series, 5-3, and has won the past five. Last year in Orlando, the Knights won 21-20, scoring twice in the final eight minutes to overcome a 20-7 deficit."
3. They return 9 defensive seniors.
1.For Marshall it's hard to put up pts, but not as hard at home. They need to step it up on D/to be on par with UCF's D.
2. UCF cannot really pass.
i don't know yet, right now with Marshall only getting 5.5 seems strange, so i am leaning them cuz they are at home. If they were at UCF and they were -16 i would take UCF. I like Marshall as stated above, historically 1 of the best teams at home. Under + Marshall +5.5 is the play right now.
Marshall wants revenge for UCF stealing there basketball coach. Just kidding although they probably do. I am on the Herd at home. WVU has a stronger running game than UCF and we saw how that game played out.
Historically one of the best teams at home? Marshall is 5-7 ATS at home in the last 3 seasons. Using that logic, UCF is historically a monster on the road ATS at 10-3 in the last 3 seasons and 17-4 ATS when getting 6 days rest. Take UCF.
