Marshall @ Memphis (-2.5 @ -110) - 1.1 Units
This is one of the simpler bets you can make. Memphis, even though they are 1-3, is the better team and they are playing at home. Memphis has played Ole Miss tough at home in addition to blowing a huge lead last week against a good Arkansas State team in Jonesboro, AR. Marshall is giving up a huge number of yards per game (184.5 rushing & 263 passing) and, while a lot of this can be attributed to playing a tough early schedule (WVU, Miami & Cincinnati) they managed to give up 562 total yards at home to Division I-AA New Hampshire in a home loss two weeks ago.
Memphis has neither an overpowering offense nor defense, but they are certainly good enough to win a home game against a poor Marshall defense more often than not.
