Coastal Carolina at Appalachian State picks and predictions
Prediction
App State 42, Coastal Carolina 24
Moneyline
PASS.
Coastal Carolina isn’t the dominant side it used to be, and it is 0-2 straight up on the road. App State is 2-0 at home this season. However, at -250, there’s no value on the home favorite.
Against the spread
LEAN APP STATE -6.5 (-105).
App State is 1-1 ATS at home, and that 1 non-cover performance was a 21-point win over Gardner Webb. The Mountaineers have an offense that’s difficult to stop, sitting 42nd in the nation in yards per play.
Coastal Carolina has struggled defensively the last 2 weeks, giving up 68 points and scoring just 45. It has failed to cover 2 straight weeks and is 0-2 ATS in games in which it is either favored or an underdog of a TD or less.
At home, the Mountaineers should be able to win with ease. Take APP STATE -6.5 (-105).
Over/Under
BET OVER 61.5 (-105).
App State has been unstoppable at home and has a highly efficient offense. It has topped 40 in 3 of 5 games and has gone Over the projected total in 4 of 5. While Coastal Carolina is 1-4 O/U, it is 1-1 O/U in games with a total of 62 or less.
McCall has thrown for 24 or more TDs and 3 or fewer INTs in his last 3 straight years. He will improve in the turnover department and should be able to sustain drives enough to score on an App State defense that has been questionable at times.
Back the OVER 61.5 (-105).
