<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\nAppalachian State vs Coastal Carolina Key Matchups and Handicap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\nCoastal Carolina's Recent Dominance in the Series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Coastal Carolina has owned this Sun Belt rivalry lately. The Chants have won and covered each of the last four meetings, and all four came as outright upsets. Last season's victory was the most dramatic of the bunch, as Coastal won as a 10.5-point road underdog after scoring two touchdowns in the final four minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
That 45-37 thriller also broke a pattern. Before last season, the previous four meetings between these teams had all stayed under the total. Last year showed that both offenses are capable of lighting up the scoreboard when the game opens up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Appalachian State's Weather-Skewed Results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Appalachian State enters on back-to-back losses to NC State and Old Dominion, but the loss to the Monarchs needs context. The worst football weather of last weekend hit western North Carolina while the Mountaineers were hosting Old Dominion. Getting out-gained by 146 yards and losing as an 8.5-point home favorite is never acceptable, but in the grand scheme of things, that result can largely be thrown out because of the extreme conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
It was not the first time App State played through a weather mess this season. In Week 3, the Mountaineers hosted Charlotte in a game that ended around 1 a.m. ET after a lengthy delay and monsoon conditions. Two of App State's games have been played in conditions that make the box scores close to meaningless, which means the team's true form is better than its recent results suggest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Chanticleers Benefit From Six Turnovers at Marshall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Coastal Carolina snapped a three-game losing streak with a mild road upset at Marshall last week. The Chants built a 27-0 lead by the midway point of the third quarter and coasted from there. The caveat is how they got there. Coastal was the beneficiary of six Marshall turnovers, a gift that rarely repeats from week to week and one that inflates how dominant the performance looked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Coastal's defense has also shown cracks this season. The Chants allowed 34 points to Liberty and 31 points to Georgia Southern. In better conditions than it has faced recently, App State's offense should land in that same neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
APP vs CCU Betting Trends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\nAPP vs CCU Key Injuries and Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\nApp State vs Coastal Carolina ATS and Total Picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\nAppalachian State -1.5 Spread Pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n
The series trend favors Coastal Carolina, but trends do not play the game. App State's two worst-looking performances came in extreme weather, while Coastal's lone recent win was fueled by six opponent turnovers. Strip away those distortions and the Mountaineers look like the better team. The market seems to agree, holding App State at -1.5 despite nearly all of the money landing on Coastal. At this short number, the Mountaineers essentially just need to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\nAPP vs CCU Over Pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n
This total looks a few ticks too low. Coastal Carolina has allowed 34 points to Liberty and 31 to Georgia Southern, and App State's offense should land in a similar range in better conditions than it has seen lately. Last season's meeting produced 82 points, and the drop from 51.5 to 49.5 hands over bettors an even better number. If App State reaches the low 30s, Coastal needs only a modest offensive showing to push this game over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\nAppalachian State vs Coastal Carolina Best Bets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\nThe over is the strongest play. Coastal's defense has been vulnerable, App State's offense has been held back by weather rather than ability and the total has dropped to its lowest number of the week. On the side, App State on the moneyline or at -1.5 offers a chance to back a team whose recent results look worse than its actual form, against a Coastal team coming off a turnover-inflated win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Final Score Prediction for Appalachian State vs Coastal Carolina<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n
With normal conditions finally on its side, App State's offense finds a rhythm against a Coastal defense that has given up 30 or more points to Liberty and Georgia Southern. The Chants keep it competitive, but without a flood of turnovers working in their favor, they cannot extend their run of upsets in this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
