Marshall Thundering Herd vs Georgia State Panthers Prediction

The Marshall Thundering Herd will beat the Georgia State Panthers. The Marshall Thundering Herd will cover the spread, and the total will go over.

Marshall enters this matchup showcasing a potent offense that averages 33.6 points per game. A balanced attack featuring both an effective passing game and a dominant rushing offense sets them apart. They achieve 198 passing yards per game on an efficient completion rate of 66.1%. However, it is their running game that truly stands out, averaging 199 rushing yards through 43 attempts per game. This capability leans heavily on their ability to control the line of scrimmage and maintain possession, putting pressure on opposing defenses.

On the other hand, Georgia State’s offense struggles by comparison, generating only 18 points per game and 243 passing yards at a 62.6% completion rate, which is solid but not dominant. Their rushing game averages a modest 104 yards on 28 attempts, highlighting a lack of balance that Marshall will exploit. This discrepancy in offensive production suggests a considerable advantage for Marshall. With the Thundering Herd scoring well above their seasonal average while Georgia State fights to keep pace, the total points scored are likely to exceed expectations, thus supporting the prediction that the total will go over.
