Marshall Thundering Herd and Connecticut Huskies are all set to cap off their successful seasons with a trip to the Myrtle Beach Bowl. Marshall Thundering Herd head into this game wondering what might have been as they have the talent for an even better season. Connecticut Huskies on the other hand,head into this match-up on Cloud 9. You have to recall where this Huskies program was last year. Connecticut won only one game last season, and no one around the program thought a Bowl game was on the cards for a team in their first year of a rebuild. Will Connecticut Huskies cap off their improbable comeback season with a victory, or will Thundering Herd bully Connecticut into submission?

Marshall Thundering Herd vs. Connecticut Huskies Best Pick
We envision the Thundering Herd defensive front seven dominating the offensive line of the Connecticut Huskies at the Myrtle Beach Bowl. Offensively, Marshall won't have to be that exciting, so they must lean on their ground game throughout. The issue with this prop bet is that we are not sure of the volume Rasheen Ali will receive. Ali is a terrific running back and can be reliable. Thundering Herd will deploy a running back by committee approach, limiting the touches for Rasheen Ali. Marshall will dominate up front, but they will spread the workload in this one. Take the Under.
Rasheen Ali, RB, Marshall: 95.5 Rushing Yards, Under
Marshall Thundering Herd vs. Connecticut Huskies Final Prediction
Connecticut Huskies had a remarkable 2022 season. The Huskies football program was adrift without direction. The fact that we are previewing Connecticut for a college bowl game is quite a remarkable turn of events. Marshall have one of the more underrated defenses in College Football. If you haven't seen Thunder Herd play, you're in for a treat. Marshall's front seven gets after you and can take over a football game. As great a story as Connecticut's has been, it ends here. Marshall are expected to control this game from start to finish with a pulverizing defense and a running game that controls the clock. Take Thundering Herd without batting an eyelid.
Marshall Thundering Herd -12.5 (-105) Over 40.5 (-110)
