Louisville Cardinals at Marshall Thundering Herd Overview
</p>
<p>
The Cardinals (3-0) are owners of the most impressive victory this season to date, marching in off an absolute demolition job against Florida State, last Saturday in Louisville. Louisville’s achievements in Week Three have catapulted them to a top-three ranking. The play of Lamar Jackson was sensational and the result has sent waves across the college football landscape.
</p>
<p>
Marshall (1-1) comes in off an abysmal defeat where they fell to the Akron Zips at home, last Saturday despite being a heavily favored and regarded option by the public. The Thundering Herd are by many accounts in a transitional period and their opening week victory against a FCS opponent was nothing short of a misnomer. Traditionally, the Herd fare well on their own ground.

Louisville Cardinals at Marshall Thundering Herd Prediction
Nearly all are in on the Cards, 95% of the public are with the U of L in the early going against the spread. For Over/Under markets, we have seen some heavy action come in on the over as the market has moved two points where the line currently sits at 74.5. This market is all about the psychological tactics books use to sway public perception. Louisville’s stock is in another stratosphere after their 62-20 thrashing of #2 Florida State. A steady stream of hype and fanfare was due to follow suit. Suddenly, Lamar Jackson’s five touchdowns has positioned him as the current top candidate for Heisman honors and many analysts have begun naming Louisville a College Football Playoff contender. All this off of one game, even if it is an impressive result. On the contrary, the Thundering Herd were humiliated home last week by a heavy underdog in the Akron Zips where the Thundering Herd defense gave up 65 points to a team they were favored by more than two touchdowns against. Results of this magnitude is likely to create this type of an offering. Had the variables been assorted differently, Louisville may have all likely been a slight or marginal favorite as opposed to a heavy favorite against a historically formidable mid-major club. Bottom line, Louisville is a hot play right now and Marshall is in sell mode which affords us the opportunity to take back a plethora of points with a team renowned for their home field advantage and methodical offense.
