#279/280 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 55 Points – Marshall vs Buffalo, Friday at 2:30 PM ET - Buffalo has been a high scoring team all season long. The problem is, they’ve faced a horrible set of defenses this year. The best defense they have faced this season ranks 55th in total defense. Their other 6 opponents all rank 75th or lower in total defense including 2 that rank 110th or lower. The Bulls also have the top rushing attack in the country averaging over 300 YPG. Same situation here. The rush defenses they’ve faced are flat out bad. Three of their opponents rank 121st or lower in rush defense and only one ranks higher than 47th. That is Miami OH who held Buffalo to over 100 yards below their rushing average. Now the Bulls face the best defense, by far, they’ve seen this season. Marshall ranks 3rd nationally in total defense and 2nd in rush defense which matches up perfectly vs this Buffalo offense. The Herd are allowing just 12 PPG this season (1st nationally) and only one team has topped 20 points on this defense. Buffalo will not run wild here. On the other side of the ball Marshall is dealing with some key defections on offense. Their top RB Knox (first team all conference) has opted out for this game. He is a huge part of their offense as he put up nearly 900 yards rushing in their 7 games this season. They run the ball an average of 39 times per game and Knox gets most of those carries. Their starting left tackle has also decided to sit this one out. Marshall was really struggling offensively anyway scoring only 13 points & 500 yards TOTAL in their last 2 games of the season vs Rice & UAB. There is a reason a team that averages 48 PPG on the season (Buffalo) & 30 PPG on the year (Marshall) has their total set at just 54 points. Looks way to easy to take the over here and digging deeper we absolutely the UNDER in this game.
