Marshall Thundering Herd vs Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 10/30/25

We are hanging out in the Sun Belt for some midweek football as the Marshall Thundering Herd take on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. Both teams have been playing well of late, and both come into this game off a bye. The Chants have won 2 in a row and 3 of their last 4, most recently beating Appy State in a shootout. The Herd have also won 2 in a row, defeating Texas State and Old Dominion. This game opened at Marshall -4, but it has quickly steamed up to -5.5, and pro betters seem to be all over this one. I think that is the best play in this game, and I am backing Marshall -5.5.

For the Herd, this was supposed to be a lost season and a total rebuild. Only a year ago, their head coach left and nearly the entire roster hit the transfer portal, forcing them to opt out of their bowl game despite winning the conference title game. Yet they have rebuilt quickly and competitively nonetheless. Their offense has been electric, scoring at least 38 points in 5 straight games. Their defense has been solid too, and that might be the reason they can cover in this spot. Coastal has survived on some very fortunate turnover luck lately, and they have been running through QBs this season. I don’t love their current option, and I think Marshall is better right now on both sides of the ball. Give me the Thundering Herd to cover on Thursday.

Marshall vs Coastal Carolina Prediction: Marshall -5.5 (-110) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
