Marshall Thundering Herd vs Georgia Southern Eagles prediction

The Marshall Thundering Herd have cooled off the last couple of weeks, and they’re riding a 5-game winning streak. I can understand the Georgia Southern Eagles getting the benefit of the doubt at home against a struggling team. With that said, Marshall is still the better team overall, and it’s not like Georgia Southern is lighting the world on fire. The Georgia Southern Eagles have lost 7 of their last 8 games overall, and they’re 4-6 SU at home. Give me the team that’s shown more life this season overall. Give me Marshall and the free bucket.
