bowl game tuesday

Marshall V FIU UNDER 49.5
------
Decent offenses on both sides of the ball have bettors thinking that this game will be high scoring. I completely disagree.

FIU has a very athletic and disciplined defense, geared to stop the run and able to stop the pass. Fiu has just changed quarterbacks prior to the final game of the season. Their running game is the strength of their offensive attack and despite TY Hilton I think this will be a game where FIU keeps the clock ticking.

Marshall on the other hand has a decent offense which is more passing than running, but is as balanced as one can be with a mobile qb. Marshall is going to have some trouble with pass protection today, because FIU's defense touts 34 sacks this season due to their speed and strength up front. They also have some very quick and athletic linebackers who are able to respond to second tier plays such as options or screens.

I like marshall, I think they played tough a couple times this year against good teams, and they definitely have improved from the beginning of the year, but I think they will have trouble moving the ball.

FIU is very motivated to get a bowl victory, and I think today they will try to keep a steady pace against Marshall in order to keep their offense rolling down the field for consistent scoring opportunities.

take the under here you will be happy you did.
