Myrtle Beach Bowl prediction and odds: Take the Marshall vs. U-Conn. under

Marshall takes on U-Conn in the Myrtle Beach Bowl on Monday.

Marshall is playing in Myrtle Beach Bowl. It's the first bowl game for the Herd in seven years. Connecticut is looking for its first win in the last seven games. Marshall has the No. 1 defense and allows only 2.8 yards per carry. U-Conn. runs the ball 64.4 percent of the time but ranks only 67th in rushing success rate.

Nathan Carter, the Huskies' third-leading rusher, has entered the transfer portal. Neither team's offense is good, but Marshall's defense should take away the one thing U-Conn does well.
