Marshall is a very up-and-down, unpredictable team. Florida
International is very steady, though they hit a slump mid-season and had
to recover from it.
Both teams were in danger of not making a bowl game this year. At
mid-season it looked bleak for both, and even when the year was over
neither could be sure of their fate. It doesn't seem like either team
will take the opportunity lightly.
The numbers appear to be against Marshall, as do the offensive and
defensive matchups. The one thing the Thundering Herd has going for it
is its very volatility. How can a team start 2-4, with its only two wins
being a top 25 team and a BCS conference team?
But who knows if Marshall will surprise to the upside (or downside). I look at what I can to measure, and it doesn't appear there
is much hope for the Herd to move the ball on FIU. That's not to say
that FIU is going to be burning up the field on Marshall's defense,
either, but it looks like it might be a touch easier going for them.
A common opponent—Louisville—shows what we can expect from this
game. Both squads beat the Cardinals, with FIU scoring 24 and Marshall
scoring 17. Marshall lost to the other common opponent, Central
Florida, 6-16, while FIU beat them 17-10. This is not likely to be a
high-scoring game

Wrong Fruitcake! The Herd will win. Doc will have them ready. The loss to UCF was in a monsoon and not a comparable. Marshall was hot at the end of the year. ML to the bank. Hail Herd!

Go FIU.....Have even a merrier Christmas on myself with this free play. This is my strongest play since I can remember. Maybe ever. FIU is way more athletic and Physical than Marshall and are also a flat out better team. This line should be FIU -10.5.........Your getting a bargain at -4

Comparing what these two teams did against 2 different common opponents may not tell you who will cover but it stands as a measuring stick when comparing 2 teams in different conferences who have yet to face each other. Its INFO that I look for in these situations and plays at least a part in where I put my $. Based on all INFO I have reached a strong opinion that Marshall's below average offense will have problems moving the ball against FIU's above average Defense. In a situation like this Marshall will most likely turn the ball over more by trying to force things and getting sloppy.
DONT BET ON MARSHALL
This play is brought to you by myself as a merry Christmas to you all.

I dont hate . I appreciate, your point of view but FIU's "D" will be too much for Herds lazy offense. I like that LA TECH under and if you didnt place that wager already, I could see that line moving to 10.5 a few hours before kick off. IMO Good Luck Sir

FIU schedule is garbage.. when your schedule only has 4 teams over .500 and a combine 63-88 that horrible.... Marshall on other hand opponent a combine 87-62.. i'll take the team with the tougher schedule, from the better conference and more motivation to win the game..
