Pick: Marshall -15
Marshall Thundering Herd (-15, 62) at Charlotte 49ers, 3:30 p.m. ET
Connelly: Marshall has played five teams ranked 100th or worse in SP+ and is 5-0 with an average score of 40-10. Charlotte is 113th. Charlotte has played only one team ranked higher than 84th (No. 55 WKU) and lost 45-13. Marshall is 39th. Both teams still have things to play for -- Marshall is still involved in the C-USA East race, and Charlotte needs one more win to reach bowl eligibility -- but SP+ projects a 20.1-point advantage for the Herd, and that sounds closer to reality than 15.Pick: Marshall -15
