Louisiana-Monroe @ Marshall
Current Records: Louisiana-Monroe 9-12; Marshall 17-4
What to Know
The Marshall Thundering Herd will be returning home after a two-game road trip. The Thundering Herd and the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks will face off in a Sun Belt battle at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at Henderson Center. Marshall is out to keep their three-game home win streak alive.
Marshall was able to grind out a solid win over the Arkansas State Red Wolves on Saturday, winning 87-78.
Meanwhile, Louisiana-Monroe has to be hurting after a devastating 77-53 defeat at the hands of the Troy Trojans on Saturday. Louisiana-Monroe was surely aware of their 10.5-point disadvantage in the point spread, but the foreknowledge did nothing to prevent the result.
Marshall is the favorite in this one, with an expected 15.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (12-6), so they might be worth a quick bet.
Marshall's victory lifted them to 17-4 while Louisiana-Monroe's loss dropped them down to 9-12. We'll see if the Thundering Herd can repeat their recent success or if the Warhawks bounce back and reverse their fortune.
