Marshall appears poised to be a formidable presence moving forward.

How to bet on the Marshall Thundering Herd

Marshall Thundering Herd Point Spreads

Point spread bets remain highly popular, involving wagers on the expected margin of victory in a game, allowing teams to cover the spread even in defeat.

Here's an example of a Thundering Herd point spread:

Marshall +3.5 (-110)
Western Kentucky -3.5 (-110)

In this example, Marshall is the underdog, expected to lose by 3.5 points. This means the Thundering Herd can cover the spread by either winning the game outright or losing by three points or fewer. Western Kentucky, favored in this scenario, needs to win by at least four points to cover the spread.

Marshall Thundering Herd Over/Unders

For those preferring not to bet on the game outcome, over/under bets might be the way forward.

Over/unders, or totals, involve predicting the total amount of scoring in a game. Whether you bet on the game total or specific team totals, the game outcome itself does not affect the result.

For instance, if the total for a Marshall vs. Western Kentucky game is set at 55 points, a score of 31-24 in favor of Marshall would mean over bettors win. Under bettors, conversely, need the combined score to be 54 or fewer points to win, with exactly 55 points resulting in a push.

Marshall Thundering Herd Moneylines

Moneyline bets are straightforward wagers on the game winner, with underdog bets paying out more than favorites if successful.

If the Thundering Herd are facing Old Dominion and are lis ted as +150 underdogs, a $100 bet on Marshall would yield $150 in profit if they win. Conversely, betting on a -180 favorite like Old Dominion requires a $180 stake to earn $100 in profit.

Marshall Thundering Herd Prop Bets

Proposition bets (prop bets) focus on individual player performances during a game. For example, you could bet on whether Cole Pennington will throw for over a set number of yards or how many touchdowns Ethan Payne will score.

These bets cater to those interested in specific player outcomes and can offer a range of options beyond traditional game wagers.

Marshall Thundering Herd Futures

Futures bets revolve around season-long outcomes, such as whether Marshall will win the Sun Belt or surpass their season win total. They can also include national championship prospects.
