The marketplace has knocked this total down enough where there is value going Over.

Miami of Ohio's offense took off during the second half of last season once Gus Ragland became the starting quarterback. Ragland had a 17-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. He's back and he has a full complement of good running backs and receivers at his disposal.

Marshall was horrible defensively last year giving up 31 or more points seven times. The Thundering Herd's offense also was down. But I have confidence that Doc Holliday can fix Marshall's offense. Chase Litton is a decent quarterback and Marshall returns its top running backs.

It's not too much to ask these two teams to go Over this total now that it's dipped below 47 especially given the quality quarterback play of both teams.
