Odds to Win the 2016 Conference USA Football Championship – Conference USA Football Predictions & Expert Picks
Conference USA “East Division” Prediction
1. Marshall Thundering Herd(+170 odds to win CUSA) – Head coach Doc Holliday led the Thundering Herd to another very good season last year as they finished 10-3 overall(6-2 CUSA) and closed the season off in style with a 16-10 win over Connecticut in the St. Petersburg Bowl. Holliday welcomes back 12 returning starters from last year’s team including 8 on offense and 4 on defense. Marshall was mediocre offensively last season as they finished with just the 64th rated total offense in the nation but hope to be much improved this season now that sophomore quarterback Chase Litton has a year of experience under his belt. Litton threw for 2605 yards and 23 touchdowns in a solid freshman season and should be a better player although he’ll have to do it this season without his top two targets from last season. Defensively, Marshall was a solid 35th in total defense nationally last season and only allowed 17.8 points per game. The defense only returns 4 starters but the talent level is solid and defensive coordinator Chuck Heater is one of the best in the nation and should have this defense amongst the best in CUSA again. 2016 Projection 8-5, 6-2 CUSA

3. Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders(2016 Projection 8-4, 6-2 CUSA)

7. Charlotte 49ers(2016 Projection 1-11, 0-8 CUSA)
Conference USA “West Division” Prediction
1. Southern Miss Golden Eagles(+255 odds to win CUSA) – Head coach Jay Hopson takes over as the new man in charge for Southern Miss and inherits a very talented roster that should be the favorites to win the CUSA Championship this season. Southern Miss went 10-3 overall(7-1 CUSA) last season but lost to Western Kentucky in the CUSA Championship 45-28 and to Washington 44-31 in the Heart of Dallas Bowl to close the season on a sour note. The Golden Eagles look like they can close the deal this season as they welcome back 12 returning starters with 6 on offense and 6 on defense. The offense was one of the nation’s best last season as they averaged 39.9 points per game and finished 12th nationally in both scoring and total offense. Senior quarterback Nick Mullens returns to lead the offense and he tossed for 4476 yards and 38 touchdowns last season. The defense was a mediocre 50th in total defense nationally last season but the offense is so explosive that if they can simply match that this season than Souther Miss should once again win double digit games and have an excellent chance to win the CUSA title. 2016 Projection 10-3, 7-1 CUSA

5. Rice Owls(2016 Projection 3-9, 2-6 CUSA)
6. North Texas Mean Green(2016 Projection 2-10, 1-7 CUSA)
2016 Conference USA Football Championship Game
Marshall Thundering Herd vs Southern Miss Golden Eagles – These two teams meet on October 29th in Hattiesburg, MS and Southern Miss should win that meeting and complete the sweep in the CUSA Title game behind an offense that should be one of the nation’s Top 20 units. Marshall is solid on both sides of the ball but they simply don’t have the fire power offensively or the dominance defensively to beat this Southern Miss team. Southern Miss 30 Marshall 23
