As bad as Marshall is, I just cannot give more than a touchdown with UAB in this spot.

The Blazers have problems of their own with a losing 3-4 SU record to this point, and they are just 2-5 ATS. Since opening this season with a nice effort vs. Oklahoma, the only other UAB cover has come vs. Troy, which is not saying much. The Blazers are allowing more points per game (21.7) than they are scoring (19.0), which is not something you want to see in a decided favorite like this.

Yes Marshall is 1-5 beating only Division I-AA Hofstra, but the Thundering Herd have actually moved the ball reasonably well, averaging 314.0 yards while scoring 20.2 points per game this season. Perhaps most importantly they are averaging 163.3 rushing yards per game on 4.8 yards per rush, compared to just 3.7 yards per rush for UAB, and that statistic alone makes Marshall my pick for today.
