The 15th ranked Coastal Carolina Chanticleers will travel to Veterans Memorial Stadium (AL) to take on the Troy Trojans this Saturday afternoon in College Football action.
The 15th ranked Coastal Carolina Chanticleers stayed perfect on the season, improving to 7-0 (5-0 Sun Belt) on the year, after defeating the South Alabama Jaguars, 23-6, this past Saturday. Coastal Carolina was outstanding defensively agianst South Alabama and had no trouble securing the victory after a 30-yard FG by the Chanticleers Massimo Biscardi gave Coastal Carolina a 20-6 lead early in the 4th quarter. Coastal Carolina outgained South Alabama by a 445-336 margin and forced the Jaguars into committing two turnovers in the victory. Leading the way for the Chanticleers was QB Grayson McCall who completed 17 of 24 passes for 209 yards & 1 TD.

The Troy Trojans dropped to 4-3 (2-2 Sun Belt) on the season after being defeated by the Georgia Southern Eagles, 20-13, this past Saturday. Troy struggled to get their offense going agianst the Georgia Southern defense on the road and allowed the Eagles to pull away for the victory after scoring 14 unanswered points over the final 7:37 of regulation. Troy was outgained by Georgia Southern by a 411-235 margin and lost the turnover battle by a 2-1 margin in the loss.

The Chanticleers are 5-1-1 ATS on the season and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games. The Trojans are 3-4 ATS on the season and just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games on turf.
Coastal Carolina continues to pile up wins and looks to be the clear-cut favorite at this point of the season to win the Sun Belt as the Chanticleers are strong on both sides of the ball. Troy has some weapons on the offense end, however, I’m not convince that they will be able to have success agianst the Coastal Carolina 14th ranked defense and as I think Coastal Carolina will be able to put a few scoring drives together, I think Coastal Carolina wins this one by about 10 points and covers this road spread. Good Luck!
