Super liking app st in this !!!
But see alot of u on marshall.. what's ur reasonings??
Bol either way
I think it's just a public hangover, from APP not covering the 16 point spread. I like APP STATE to correct last weeks errors, and cover the -5.5 spread.

Marshall with the huge win and a shutout I think is getting them a lot of love too.. look at what they did against ranked teams last year.. two blow outs...
Then a respectable lost to Boise State by 7
App st took Penn St to ot and georgia got them but that's number 2 in nation

I put in my thread the thing I like least about app state in this one which is probably being really overlooked .. b2b late scheduled games .... 2nd game vs a tough opponent, tough venue, tough coach ... Marsh woulda had an easier time prepping for this one w the FCS lead in .. App looked like easy money after first drive LW ... bet there as alot of in-game on them... Then dog fight to win as a 3 score fav ...
Only comparison to make in the 'short schedule' spot since there really aren't any, esp in B2B weeks might be how the coach does in bowl games... early one in particular ... app st 1st year coach so dont know ... doc 7-1 SU 7-1 ATS almost all pre-christmas bowls .. dude's legit ..
Not saying don't take'em I thought about it .. I'm going under 59.5 but have Marsh in a few parlays ..
Good luck..

If I read it right I believe app st has more returning starters than marshall does bud.. you might want to check that... Also a potential stud don't mean nothing ... Let's see it first!!! He will have his hands full with a tough app st defense

Tough defense should let a team like Charlotte score 20 pts. Thats what worries me about app st. ...Their D
GL with your pick... marshall wins by 13

We really don't know what App st is this season. This game will set a bench mark for them. Sure they players play and they have returning starters but a new coach for App state. Last week App got 2 TD in the 4th to pull away. I didn't see the game, but if they play close to Charlotte when at home ? I'm thinking that was first week rust with a new coach, or this App team is not the same as in recent past. Marshall has a long history of winning games at home. Sure recently they are 4-13 ATS at home but most of those were as chalk. IMO Marshall is under-rated by the lines makers and so far the money is coming in on App.
Marshall is 15-5 SU last 20 at home and I am taking the strong home team, getting points, against a veteran squad with a new coach. Marshall put the hammer down last week App did not until Charlotte tired out.
Marshall +5.5 and since the line is climbing i will wait to see if I get more points closer to kickoff. If it moves back to +5 I will buy it then.

What should concern you is that by and large this is the same Charlotte team that ended the 2019 season. I watched Buffalo absolutely suffocate and run ALL over Charlotte in the Bahamas bowl. It was a snuff film. The fact that app st even played around with them is a red flag not to mention we find out that their starting qb was injured from the first drive in and they still stayed within 15. Marshall is about to blast app st. People who bet app st at this point are betting their previous reputation. This is their third head coach in three seasons, what program just plugs in head coaches and continues to have success? No one, and app st is not an exception. I’m not saying they will start losing 4/5 games a year but at some point attrition will show. Today is that day

We are Marshall…..but we still aren’t any good. Last season Marshall was a meh 8-5 team that lost to Charlotte and MTSU. When they stepped up in class against UCF and Cincinnati they got bitch slapped by an average of 30 points. I can’t give any credibility at all to Marshall’s victory over EKU, which is basically a high school team, since EKU got beat up just as badly by West Virginia in the following week. So the only eye test is to look at last year’s team and see how much better / worse they’d be. Marshall does have eight starters are back on offense, and their running back Knox is a straight up beast and a legit 1000 yard runner. But at the QB position, they are going with redshirt freshman Grant Wells, whose only other FBS offer was from Charlotte. That’s basically meh. On defense, they lost 3 of their best 5 players. It’s difficult to project that they will be any better than last year’s team. They lost 3 of the 4 starters on their D line, and that’s not going to be good against the pass happy Mountaineers. In order to beat, Appalachian State, they will need to be a lot better.
Appalachian State has a new head coach but the same old Mountaineers are expected to be in the top 25 all year and certainly is the favorite to be the Sun Belt champ. They return their 3 year starting QB, Zac Thomas, the Sun Belt's best quarterback. Last season he completed 62.7 percent of his attempts for 2,718 yards, 28 touchdowns and six interceptions. Oh by the way, 4 of his 5 starters on the O-line are back.
Now then, Appalachian State beat Charlotte last week by 15 points (yes the same Charlotte team that beat Marshall last year). However if you look closer, you’ll see that Appalachian State outgained Charlotte 512 yards to 286. The Mountaineers had 3 turnovers in the red zone, including a fumble at the 1 yard line on their first drive of the game. Throw in a missed 34 yard FG and you can see that the Mountaineers could have easily won this game by more than 30 points. Charlotte was 7-6 last year and obviously a much tougher opponent than Marshall had in their first game. If Appalachian State had cleaned it up and actually beaten Charlotte by 30 points, this would be a double digit spread. So I see some value here and am jumping on the Mountaineers to stay undefeated, ranked and a money maker by laying the 4 points.
