Result: Win
Appalachian State is coming into this game with a 4-4 record this season and they are 2-3 in the conference. They have been playing much better in their recent games as they have won their last 2 straight, but both of those wins also came at home. They have been much worse on the road this season as they have lost both of their conference games on the road and 3 of their 4 road games this season. Their only road win this season was also a 2 point win over a weaker East Carolina team. They are going up against a Coastal Carolina team that is 4-4 this season and they are 1-3 in the conference. They have not been playing well recently as they have lost their last 3 straight games, but 2 of those losses were on the road while the other came at home against Louisiana who is the only team in the Sun Belt with a perfect conference record still. They beat Old Dominion at home 45-37 and they are going to be hungry to bounce back at home after 3 straight losses. Coastal Carolina has a very good run game this season that is averaging 172.4 rushing yards per game and 4.8 yards per carry. That matches up very well against an App State defense that has been allowing 201.6 rushing yards per game and 5.5 yards per carry. CCU is going to have success moving the ball on the ground in this game and that will help them in the passing game as well since App State has been allowing a high percentage of completions against their defense all season, opposing quarterbacks averaging 68.3% completions against this defense. App State also has a good run game that is going up against an awful CCU run defense, but App State has struggled more on offense on the road this season as they have scored 24 points or less in 3 of their 4 road games. Scoring points will not be a problem for Coastal Carolina in this game at home and they are going to be the hungrier team to win here after 3 straight losses, especially since they need 2 more wins from their last 4 games to become bowl eligible and only have 2 home games left this season. Coastal Carolina will cover the spread in this game.
