Marshall vs Coastal Carolina Pick & Prediction - 10/30/2025
Updated July 9, 2026
The Marshall Thundering Herd will travel to Brooks Stadium to take on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers on Thursday night. Both of these teams have winning records in the Sun Belt Conference and will look for a key victory to come out of this week in second place in the East division standings. Before kickoff from Conway, continue reading to get my thoughts on this game, including my Marshall vs Coastal Carolina prediction.
Marshall quarterback Carlos Del Rio-Wilson has been a difference-maker this season. He’s thrown for 1,133 yards with 12 touchdowns and only one interception. His composure and accuracy have helped Marshall become one of the more efficient passing teams in the Sun Belt.
Coastal Carolina’s Samari Collier has struggled to find rhythm in the passing game with just over 150 passing yards on the year and two touchdowns. But his rushing ability adds an extra dimension to Coastal's offense. Collier has rushed for 162 yards and three touchdowns, including two rushing touchdowns against App State in their last game.
Score Projection: Marshall 31 – Coastal Carolina 27
Win Probability: Marshall 62%, Coastal Carolina 38%
This will be an interesting game given how different the two offenses involved are. Marshall is capable of stretching the field vertically on a more consistent basis than Coastal Carolina. But the Chanticleers have a quarterback who is better equipped to make plays with his legs and keep defenses off-balance in that way.
Regardless of the outcome of this game, I think it goes over the total on Thursday night. Both of these teams have been involved in high-scoring contests of late and that should continue here. Look for Marshall to do the majority of the scoring, but for both of these teams to do plenty to push this important Sun Belt matchup over the total.
