This should be "Northern Illinois" instead of San Diego State i believe

Marshall is a 10.5 pt fav on Northern Illinois right now. Do not understand this at all. I think NI should be favored honestly. My favorite play of the bowl season Northern Illinois +10.5

 

[Dollaz]

If JOhnson is healthy and Marshall is interested in this game, they win easily. But, I have no clue what their mindset is.

Would be a shock if Marshall can get right emotionally.

They barely got by La Tech after blowing undefeated season at home vs W Ky - where would the motivation come from?

I will be in attendance for this one , rooting for the over. The game is practically sold out. The second sell out ever in the stadiums history. However, each team only got allotted 5k tickets each in a 30k stadium, so may be a fairly corporate environment.

Cato is a folk hero from S Florida. I am sure he would like to put on a show in his final game with the Herd. Over or Marshall TT over should warrant a look.

Marshall easily disposed of their 3 MAC opponents early in the season. But their last three games starting with UAB are cause for concern in expecting them to cover 10 points against a better MAC team.

In the parking lot and it's fairly windy out. Obv not sure what it's like inside, but may be something to watch for.

Wind died down. These bowl threads are a hotbed of activity
