With everyone jumping on Memphis with the death of their teammate and hoping for an inspirational win I was interested to see what you would do on this. 
 
I was just capping this and it is hard to cap two bad teams that are playing one another to determine who is going to be the best of the worst when they play each other!  Hadn't decided yet?
 
Good luck on your pick - I hope I don't disagree with your pick.  I don't like to disagree with you - however I did go the other way last Friday and came out on top.  So, we will see!

Like the Marshall pick.  My thoughts is that the under is the best play at 60.  No way either of these teams sniff that.  Reminds me a little of the Terps/da U game when the U defense rallied to keep the game close.

I have always been a believer in the "win one for the dead guy" theory, but how is Memphis not a complete mess right now?  Marshall needs a win BAD. Then again, they needed one against New Hampshire and came out flat before putting up 35 in the second half, almost coming all the way back before caving in on a game clinching New Hampshire drive. Memphis coming off the short week following their own second half collapse at Arky St. and now the shooting death....can they come out with any focus? Both defenses are embarrassing giving up a combined 73+ points per game..but what is even scarier is Marshall allowing 5.9 yards per carry. Leaning towards Marshall and the Over...

A few thoughts on the game tonight w/out any talk of the death(there has been alot said about it already and there is no way to know what is going to happen emotionally is this game):
 
I like the fact that Marshall is rested and has more time to prepare and that Memphis has played too much lately and it will likely catch up to them in the 2nd half...I like there strength of schedule compared to Memphis...I think the difference will be in Marshall's passing game...Memphis has been terrible defensively allowing almost 1000 yards last two games...Senoir QB Bernard Morris has been fairly good this year throwing 7 tds compared to 1 int the last 3 games...One player that looks like could be the key to the Marshall passing game is TE Cody Slate..he has 25 for 321 w/ 2 tds already this year...obviously both defenses are very poor, but I like a well rested team w/ time to prepare who can throw the ball in a very evenly matched game...give me the points anyday....gl tonight everyone

Great Analysis Rush.  And good win last night, I just played the under... who knows why I passed up on the Pats.  Probably when the line hit -9 I got skeptical, ah well.

Thanks for the thoughts rush!  Always nice to know what you are thinking and what is behind the pick.  I think that is what makes betting and sports so interesting are always the intangibles that can't be controlled. You can cap something ALL day long and it all points one direction and then something happens (injuries, emotions, etc) that cause something to happen that makes something go the other way or makes the play lose!  I think as usual your play is solid and your reasoning (capping) is right on.  Now the question is will the 3 games in 11 days really effect Memphis?  Will they really be able to get up and win this one for their fallen teammate?  Will they be able to stop a better team that has played a better schedule?  This we will see tonight - but as you said - better to get points in this situation then give them!
 
GOOD LUCK!

3 games in 10 days, that's alot of energy to waste.  I agree Memphis will be very tire in the 2H.

Another special teams note:
 
Memphis has the nation's worst net punting unit...so that could obviously help Marshall's field postion all night.

This from the Huntington WV Herald Dispatch.......
 

Memphis may have to face Marshall without starting quarterback Martin Hankins, who suffered a hip injury during the second-half battering against Arkansas State. That would put junior Will Hudgens into the starting role, but West said redshirt freshman Matt Malouf should also see action.

USA TODAY:

ROSTER REPORT: Memphis went into the Arkansas State game without two injured defensive starters — LB Greg Jackson and S Tony Bell. Then the Tigers lost three more starters — DE Josh Weaver, LB Jake Kasser and S Dontae Reed — during the game. Jackson is out for the Marshall game, while the other four are questionable. The short period between the games isn't making the situation any better.

Hankins sustained a hip injury in the loss at Arkansas State and also remains questionable. If he can't play, the Tigers will go with a combination of junior Will Hudgens and dual-threat redshirt freshman Matt Malouf.
