T.M. Selection: Coastal Carolina.

I like Coastal Carolina to cover the spread against Appalachian State. Coastal Carolina is ranked number 14 in the country and they have been ripping teams open with their offense all year. They have scored 50+ points in each of their last 3 games and their last 2 games they played against another team from their conference, they won each by 30+ points. They are not only trying to win their conference this year but they are trying to climb the poll as far up as they can in a year where many of the strong favorites have been losing. App State just lost a conference game against the Ragin' Cajuns and they were decimated in that game only putting up 13 points and giving up 41. If Louisiana is scoring 41 points on this App State defense then Coastal Carolina will be putting up another 50 here. I think they are just a much stronger team and they are on a mission to prove that they are not just good because of their weaker conference and schedule. I like Coastal Carolina to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 51-24 Coastal Carolina.
