Marshall vs Appalachian St. Predictions

Published on

Marshall is on the road playing Appalachian St. at the Holmes Convocation Center stadium on Thursday, 2/2/2023 @ 6:30pm EST. Marshall is the betting favorite opening at -3 and the line hasn't moved.

On Thursday, the Marshall Thundering Herd (18-5, 14-8 ATS, 10-12 O/U) face the Appalachian State Mountaineers (13-10, 11-9 ATS, 9-11 O/U). The Thundering Herd hammered Georgia State in their previous match. In their latest matchup, the Mountaineers defeated Arkansas State at home. The first meeting between Marshall and App State ended in a 79-59 victory for Marshall.

Marshall scored 103 points in another win

Marshall Thundering Herd continues to perform well. As a result, they are 7-3 in Sun Belt play on the season after winning six of their last seven games. Recently, Marshall has enjoyed a string of victories on the offensive end. As a result, they covered the large 13-point spread on Saturday, beating Georgia State 103-65 at home after falling to UL Monroe in overtime 86-82. In their last three meetings, the Thundering Herd have won just one game.

The Appalachian State Mountaineers won their third straight game

For the Appalachian State Mountaineers, it will be their fourth straight win. Having beaten Georgia State 71-59 two games ago, they were large nine-point favorites in Saturday's home win against Arkansas State to move to 6-4 in Sun Belt play. On January 19th, the Mountaineers lost an overtime game to Coastal Carolina on the road. Having covered three consecutive games, they have proven to be reliable.

Marshall plays with a sense of confidence. Six of their last seven games have been won, with an overtime loss being the only blemish. Even though Appalachian State is playing well, I don't think they can keep this one in reach. In addition, Marshall is among the most effective offensive teams in a mid-major conference. Their average score per 100 possessions is 111.4, ranking them 56th in Division I. There is a big difference between this and Appalachian State, which only posts 101.3 points per 100. The Marshall Tigers just scored 103 points against Georgia State, and nobody has been able to stop them. Earlier this season, Marshall beat Appalachian State 79-53, and they expect another blowout victory.
