Presbyterian
The Blue Hose are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 road games. Presbyterian is 13-3 ATS in its last 16 non-conference games.

The Thundering Herd are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games overall. Marshall is 1-6-1 ATS in its last eight non-conference games.
Prediction:
There isn’t really a lot of separation between these two teams, although the Thundering Herd have the better best win over a top-100 opponent in Hofstra early in the season. Neither team is very good defensively, but the Blue Hose actually have the much more efficient offense and I believe that will keep them in for the duration. Go with a Presbyterian team that has shown to be road warriors as of late.
