2:30 PM EST. This isn’t one of those marquee matchups in the second week of November that attracts a lot of attention. No, this is one of those under-the-radar matchups that most won’t even have a second look at but we trust we found the oddsmakers sleeping a bit on this one. Marshall cannot be favored by two converted TD’s over a 49ers’ squad that keeps progressively improving.

The Thundering Herd just lost to Southern Miss. When they beat FAU two weeks ago it was because the Owls turned the ball over five times. The Herd has nothing but weak wins other than their Week 1 victory over Miami-Ohio but that was a long time ago when teams are still figuring things out.

Four weeks ago, Charlotte lost its starting quarterback, but Evan Shirreffs looks like an upgrade at that position. Three weeks ago, Charlotte lost on the road to a strong Middle Tennessee team by eight points, though it had a 359-144 yard edge. Two weeks ago they defeated the once upon a time conference overlord, Southern Miss and Last week, the 49ers went into Tennessee and held the Vols to a mere 14 points in a 14-2 loss. Charlotte running back Benny LeMay has rushed for 664 yards and a solid 5.4 yards per carry this season. The 49ers have the advantage on defense here, as they're holding foes to 116 yards per game below what they came in averaging -- and that's 10th-best in the FBS. They have also held six of their nine FBS foes to a season lows in yards. Charlotte can not only come in well under the number here, they can win this one outright.
