Both played Ohio St and the eye test gives the Herd, especially the D, a significant edge (Marshall outgained by 305 yds, WM by 584 yds). 

While Western Michigan is off a 59-31 win vs Bethune-Cookman they failed to cover as a 33.5 pt fav.

Teams off a win that they gained 609+ yards as a Fav of -25.5+ are 14-41 ATS (25.5%) so that being performance as a huge fav gives them false confidence.
