Marshall vs Notre Dame Odds, Picks & Predictions

Notre Dame is a three-touchdown favorite against Marshall on September 10. The game is played at Notre Dame's home field. Marcus Freeman's team is 0-2 and needs to win to avoid starting the season with a loss to start a new coach.

Notre Dame lost 21-10 at Ohio State last week. The Herd beat Norfolk State 55-3 last time out. Marshall's offense is limited and its quarterback is a transfer. Notre Dame's defense will be a stiffer test.  Marshall will not be able to score more than 20 points. It will also not have star running back Rasheen Ali. He is out injured. They will have to play without him. This is not a good idea. For the Herds, the game is more important than expected. Their defense is better than they thought. In the past, they have given up just four explosive plays.
