This is an 8* MID-MAJOR MAULING on Marshall.

While we obviously wouldn't be shocked by an outright victory, we will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as we look for the visitors to at the very least, keep this one close enough to sneak in through the back door down the stretch. Marshall is 0-1 to start the season and takes Interstate 64 to Morehead Kentucky to take on regional rival, 2-1 Morehead State at the Ellis T. Johnson Arena. The Thundering Herd are coming off an 84-74 loss at Tennessee on November 19th, the first time the team had had to face a power conference opponent in its opener since 1969. The Eagles most recently defeated Northern Kentucky 64-56, but Marshall plays with the double revenge factor here, as Morehead State has taken the last two, including 77-68 in 2014. Note that the Herd are 9-7 ATS in their last 16 after allowing 80 points or more, while the Eagles are 9-12 ATS their last 21 at home and just 6-7 ATS in their last 13 after allowing 60 points or less. Play on MARSHALL.
