Georgia State vs Marshall Best Total Bet: Under 50.5
The Panthers have the potential to score on Marshall’s defense, but Georgia State’s defense may have more of an issue slowing down the Herd’s offense. In what should be an entertaining matchup, a final score of 30-20 seems like a likely outcome.
Georgia State Best Player Bet: Ted Hurst Any Time Touchdown +140
Ted Hurst has been the most reliable playmaker for the Panthers through the start of the season. The wideout is up to 434 receiving yards and five touchdowns on the season and he could be in line for a monster game against Marshall’s secondary. With the Panthers needing a big performance from the Georgia native, he could find himself in the endzone at some point on Thursday night.
Marshall Best Player Bet: Christian Fitzpatrick Any Time Touchdown +105
Christian Fitzpatrick transferred to Marshall in the offseason, and since joining, the wide receiver has quickly slotted in as the team’s top pass catcher. The wide receiver is up to 299 receiving yards and three touchdowns on the year as he looks to add to his season totals on Thursday. Fitzpatrick has an excellent shot at finding himself in the endzone at some point.
