This should be a good game. Both programs are defensive minded and among contenders in their respective conferences.
Cincinnati is looking to have some momentum as they head into AAC play.

Ditto for Marshall and Conference USA. They have been off since narrowly beating Ohio.
Cincinnati Bearcats
Cincinnati also hasn’t played in a couple of weeks but they might need more time to get the sting out of losing to Ohio State 42-0 in the second week of the season.
They are not in the Buckeyes league but wins over UCLA and Miami of Ohio are alright, especially with the Bruins coming to life last week.
Cincinnati is a defense first team but they still need to have some offense. Their numbers on that side of the ball are not good, balanced, but not good.
QB Desmond Ridder was really good last season. He had five interceptions all of last season but three through three games. They need him to clean that up and use his legs more.

This one looks like a defensive battle. Whichever team can find some offense first will get the win.
Marshall Thundering Herd
Marshall’s lone loss was as Boise State 14-7. Suffice it to say there is no shame their and they have to like their chances in CUSA this season. The defense has been good.
Quarterback Isaiah Green is also a sophomore who has looked good this season…mostly. He was a no show in the loss to the Broncos.
Marshall knows what it is and will kind of being looking in a mirror with Cincinnati.
The key thing in this one will be getting that first score. At home there is an advantage there as the crowd will be behind them. They are underdogs too and that never sits well with the faithful.
The oddsmakers might have go this one wrong.

I am going to wait on this line and hope we can get even more value with the home team.

As long as it stays at the current number I would say why not bet the moneyline. When the spread is less than three the winner of the game usually covers.
I like Cincy overall but this is also a look ahead spot. They have UCF at home to start AAC play next week. That game matters a lot more.
