Hometown Marshall is getting nearly a one-touchdown edge at the sportsbook.<\/p>\n<p>Marshall (0-3, 1-2 against the spread) is the favorite despite failing to register a single win this season. The Thundering Herd hasn\u2019t exactly had an easy road, though, opening with games against Ohio State and West Virginia. Worn out, Marshall fell to Bowling Green last week.<\/p>\n<p>Turnovers and poor play late in games is killing Marshall. The team lost in overtime to the Mountaineers, and it was tied against Bowling Green heading into the fourth quarter; the Thunder Herd gave up 16 unanswered points in the final period, including an interception that was returned for a touchdown. It was the second pick Bowling Green returned for a score in that meeting, as Marshall quarterback Brian Anderson was intercepted four times. If he doesn\u2019t get better, neither will the Thundering Herd. Right now, the offense is terrible. <iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/Bodog\/selector\/client?client=Bodog&#038;placement=Ext_RS_Sports_250x250&#038;cxt_aff_id=151627&#038;tclk=http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/' class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border-width:0'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Ohio (1-2, 0-2 ATS) has a 33-10 win over Wofford to its credit, followed by losses to Toledo and Ohio State. The Bobcats were steamrolled by the Buckeyes, and the struggles at quarterback were plainly on display. Neither Boo Jackson nor Phil Bates has done anything helpful this season; they combined for just 82 yards and two interceptions against Ohio State; that\u2019s below the team\u2019s season average of 106 passing yards per game. Generally, the offense has been pitiful, and it\u2019s especially frustrating since the Bobcats have some solid talent at receiver and in the backfield.<\/p>\n<p>Defensively, Ohio has actually been pretty solid despite the blowout to the Buckeyes, but that\u2019s to be expected (and it may not have been so bad if the offense wasn\u2019t floundering). The Bobcats are doing a good job forcing turnovers and they\u2019ve been tough against the run, limiting opponents to just 3.4 yards per carry. Injuries could be a problem, though, as both safeties are nursing injuries and may sit out this week.<\/p>\n<p>Cut Marshall a break. Sure, it\u2019s winless, but the team has faced some very stiff competition. Playing against Ohio will practically feel like a vacation. The Thundering Herd has struggled on defense, but the Bobcats are the perfect medicine; they simply can\u2019t move the ball and won\u2019t be able to keep pace with a Marshall squad that scored 28 points last week despite five turnovers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gambling Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ohio is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games when playing Marshall<br \/>\nOhio is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Marshall<br \/>\nMarshall is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing Ohio<br \/>\nMarshall is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing at home against Ohio<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 6 of Marshall&#8217;s last 7 games at home<br \/>\nMarshall is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games when playing Ohio<br \/>\nOhio is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games<br \/>\nOhio is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Marshall<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ohio at Marshall pick<\/strong>: Marshall -6.5<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/betting-offers\/baseball-betting-bonus.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">START NCAA FOOTBALL GAMBLING TODAY AT BODOG SPORTSBOOK &amp; CASINO\u2026.CLICK HERE TO JOIN!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ohio Bobcats and the Marshall Thundering Herd will both be gunning for a victory on Saturday when they meet at Joan C.
