Appalachian State vs Marshall Prediction, Odds & Picks – 10/5/2024

The Appalachian State Mountaineers will face off against the Marshall Thundering Herd on October 5, 2024, with the Mountaineers entering the game as three-point underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Early betting trends show 48% of spread bets favoring Appalachian State, while 52% back Marshall. The total betting line of 58 has the majority of bets (72%) leaning towards the under, with only 28% on the over. This App State vs Marshall matchup promises to be an exciting showdown between the two teams as they battle it out on the field in the Sun Belt Conference.

App State Looks to Rebound From Poor Conference Opener

Two weeks ago, the Appalachian State Mountaineers opened their conference season in the Sun Belt with a home game against South Alabama. They lost that game in blowout fashion despite entering it as a favorite, as App State struggled to deal with playing on a short week in that contest. This week, the Mountaineers have had much more time to rest before this App State vs Marshall contest as their home game with Liberty was cancelled due to the unfortunate aftermath of the storms in the Carolinas. But all of the rest in the world won't help the Mountaineers if they aren't able to play better defense than they did against South Alabama, when they gave up 48 points on their home turf.

Marshall Opens Conference Play at Home

Marshall went 2-2 in non-conference play over the last month or so, beating the teams they were supposed to beat and losing to the two power conference teams they faced. Marshall is 2-0 at home so far this season and they hope that they can get another home win here to start their Sun Belt Conference season with a win. If that is going to happen, the Thundering Herd will need to continue to avoid turning the ball over after quarterback Stone Earle threw three touchdowns without an interception in a win over Western Michigan last week.

App State vs Marshall Prediction

It is hard to gauge where App State is going into this Appalachian State vs Marshall matchup in the Sun Belt. Their program and their region has gone through so much with the storms that ravaged that part of the country recently. But we will take App State to rise above all of that and to cover the spread as a slight underdog here, as they should make their area proud by showing a ton of heart by taking the field on Saturday afternoon.
