Coastal Carolina vs Southern Miss Prediction
Coastal Carolina hasn’t won a game since January 4 and has failed to cover seven of its last 10 games. There’s not much reason to back Coastal Carolina, especially when you throw in a 2-12 SU record on the road. However, Southern Miss has lost eight of its last 10 games, and that includes a loss to UL Monroe in a decent-sized favorite role. Just because Coastal Carolina is an awful team doesn’t mean we make its opponent a big favorite. Southern Miss has issues of its own. Southern Miss is a below-average offensive team and one of the worst-scoring defenses. There are better options out there on Thursday but if forced to pick give me Coastal Carolina and the points.
