Coastal Carolina vs App State Prediction

In this Coastal Carolina vs App State Prediction, App State is coming as -3.5 home favorites. Both teams have almost identical overall records this season as they both have five defeats so far, but App State is coming into this matchup in better form, as it has won its last three games and are playing excellent defense in that span, holding their opponents into just 55.3 points per game. On the flip side, Coastal Carolina has been unstable lately, alternating wins and losses for the past six games and have a weaker defense than App State, so I like the value with the hosts today. Take App State and lay the points at home.
