Coastal Carolina vs Arkansas State Prediction
The Arkansas State Red Wolves are the more talented team and are undefeated at home, but they’ve failed to cover 5 of their last 7 games. The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are good enough defensively to hang around, and we’ve seen them NC A&T and Campbell recently in the underdog role. Coastal Carolina also gave East Carolina a run as a double-digit dog earlier in the year. Lots of points. Give me the Chanticleers and the free buckets.
