Don't miss out on all of Saturday's picks especially my max 5.5* NCAAF POD where we are just on fire torching the books with over 60% ATS winners on the season. This play is guaranteed and comes with a bonus play that is backed by a full in depth analysis!


Marshall can get a bowl eligible victory here, but they can also earn the east crown if Southern Miss falls later in the day. That will allow Marshall to play with a lot of energy here. This is a team that beat Louisville and S. Miss at home and continues to play well here they are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 as a home fav .5 to 3. East Carolina has been hurt big time with injuries they have 4 offensive linement that are questionable for Saturday and they lost WR's and 3 RB's. Maybe they can make up for those things in home games, but on the road I don't think so. I expect Marshall to come up with a big win on Saturday especially having 2 extra days to prepare.

This is a defense that gets after the QB they have a ton of sacks and they're led by an NFL talent in Vinny Curry who has 11 sacks himself. They get after the QB particularly at home and that leads to turnovers as they are +9 in TO margin at home while Eastern Carolina is -12 on the season turning it over 31 times this year. This is SR day and Marshall has 15 seniors who will be playing in their last game at home. Don't sleep on the Marshall pass defense as they have played miles better at home holding opposing QB's to a 106 QB rating and 51.8% . East Carolina can't run the ball just 3 yards per carry on the road while their defense allows 5.05 so expect Marshall to be running a lot with Tron Martinez they are very capable of dominating a team on the ground.

Last edge will be field advantage and it's a huge edge. East Carolina dead last in net punting averaging just 29.1 yards per punt and they are last in punt return defense. Marshall averages over 11 yards per return so I expect great field position for Marshall all day long which should lead to points and a victory.


FAU winless on the season and you may be wondering why I would even recommend this game. That's because UAB is not good. They have put up points on many occasions but they just came off a huge win vs. Southern Miss and I don't see them getting up for their last game. FAU will try to send their coach out with a victory and this game gives them a better shot at doing so. UAB is 118th allowing 37 points per game. Sr. Alfred Morris will have a day he averaged 5.25 yards per carry, and UAB allows 5.25 on the season and UAB is allwoing 47.33 % conversions on 3rd down.

More importantly I think is the fact FAU has only played 3 home games. They are much better than their 0-10 record since they had to open up by playing Florida, Michigan State, and then Auburn. They've been close vs. some good teams it's only a matter if their offense starts working because their defense plays well enough to win. Guess what they get their shot as UAB is just awful on defense they gave up 59 on the road to a Marshall team above that's not known for their offense.
