South Alabama vs Coastal Carolina Prediction
South Alabama is the better team and should win, but I'm not laying this number on the road. We just saw South Alabama lose back-to-back games to UL Monroe as double-digit favorites. South Alabama hasn't been great offensively as of late, which includes scoring 66 or fewer points in five straight games. Coastal Carolina has issues of its own, but five of its eight wins have come at home, and it's only a matter of time before something breaks well. Coastal Carolina hasn't won a game in a month, but most of those losses were on the road and as an underdog. Coastal Carolina should be more competitive at home and if UL Monroe can give South Alabama problems, Coastal Carolina possibly can as well. Give me the points.
