Appalachian State vs. Coastal Carolina Prediction
I’m on the over here. I know it’s a short week, but these are two teams that have had defensive issues this season, App State is mostly on the road, like they are here, and Coastal’s been involved in high-scoring games more often than not this season. I think we have a bit of a track meet ahead, so give me the over here.
