Noel Devine and the Mountaineers are currently 12.5 point road favorites tonight<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

West Virginia started the 2010 football season with a 31-0 shutout of Coastal Carolina at Milan Puskar Stadium.\u00a0 The Geno Smith era at quarterback got started with a blistering 20 of 27 performance for 216 yards and two touchdowns.\u00a0 Star running back Noel Devine added 111 rushing yards from the backfield in helping the offense produce 400 yards of total offense.\u00a0 It\u2019s an important stat due to the team producing a 13-3 record when he rushes for at least 100 yards in a game. The defense posted its first shutout since 2005 and the first home shutout since 1997.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m pleased with the way our defense played, reacted and took control of the game,\u201d head coach Bill Stewart stated.\u00a0 \u201cThe most important thing is that we played with reckless abandonment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mountaineers are a dominating 52-13 over its last 65 games and 16-2 in games played on turf under Stewart.\u00a0 The team has posted a 6-8 against the spread record against the college football lines on an artificial surface over the last three seasons.\u00a0 West Virginia\u2019s 31-point margin of victory in the season opener was the largest for a Stewart-led team.\u00a0 Now they head on the road, posting an even 5-5 ATS mark over the last three seasons and the total is 5-5 O\/U in those contests.\u00a0 Also, don\u2019t simply skip over the squad\u2019s 2-9 ATS mark when playing with six or less days of rest.<\/p>\n

Marshall is set to play its second ranked opponent in as many weeks to start the season, after suffering a lopsided 45-7 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus.\u00a0 Tonight\u2019s game will be the 10th meeting, with the team failing to capture a victory in the series thus far.\u00a0 The defense will need to quickly sure up a unit that surrendered 529 yards of total offense in the opening week.\u00a0 The Thundering Herd will look forward to playing its first home contest of the year, amassing an incredible 119-19 overall record at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.\u00a0 Over the last three years, Marshall has a losing 4-6 ATS mark at home.<\/p>\n

The Thundering Herd\u2019s new coach knows tonight\u2019s opponent well, playing for West Virginia during his collegiate years and later serving under Stewart in Morgantown when he succeeded Rich Rodriguez.\u00a0 He took over a team that returns 41 letterwinners and 13 starters from last year\u2019s team.\u00a0 Marshall has appeared on national television 58 times, posting a 25-33 record in those games.\u00a0 The squad has compiled a 2-3 ATS mark over the last three years as a underdog of 10.5 to 21 points and the total is 3-2 O\/U in those games.<\/p>\n

Bettors will have a definitive interest in the Mountaineers being 11-0 ATS in their last 11 road games versus a team with a losing home record and the under is 4-1 in their last five versus Conference USA.\u00a0 Marshall stands at 2-5 ATS in their last seven games versus the Big East and the under is 5-1 in the team\u2019s last six home games.<\/p>\n
