T.M. Selection: Coastal Carolina @ Jacksonville State - OVER

I am on the OVER in the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers @ Jacksonville State Gamecocks game on Thursday. We are seeing a big drop in the markets on this total since it first opened up in the 60 range. Much has been made of the QB situation for each team with Coastal Carolina bringing in someone new and Jacksonville State having a returnee at QB but with doubts about how well he can produce for them. This is leading to excellent value here because the ground game ability of each offense is not receiving the credit it should here and also these are not exactly a pair of defensive powerhouse groups we are talking about here. The defenses also each had some key player losses from last season as well. I am grabbing the big line value after this strong downward move on the total.

T.M. Prediction: 33-30 Jacksonville State.

Line: O/U 54.5
