Appalachian State at Coastal Carolina picks and predictions

Forecast

Coastal Carolina 32, Appalachian State 29

Moneyline

COASTAL CAROLINA (-105) is worth playing at home as a slight underdog.

Yes, the Chanticleers have dropped their last 3 games and the defense has been picking up points lately. But the QB Ethan Vasco and the offense can score points when it’s locked in, and it has to at home with a national TV audience.

Appalachian State (-115) has won its last 2 games, but that’s against Georgia State and ODU, 2 teams with a combined win-loss record of 6-11 SU.

Against the spread

There is no point in backing Coastal Carolina +1 (-110) as it will cost a little more juice and the game cannot end in a tie. Therefore, it makes no sense to play this instead of CCU on the money line.

AVOID.

Over/Under

UNDER 62.5 (-105) is the skinny one, but go with one play in half unit at best.

Under is 5-2-2 in the last 9 games for Appalachian State including 2-0-1 in the previous 3 contests.

Be careful though, as Coastal has allowed 34 or more points in 5 straight games. If this game goes over, it will most likely be because of the leaky defense of the Chants.
