Its early but these teams are at the bottom of the Sun Belt. Odds are whoever gets this win ensures that they do not finish last in the East.
Coastal has scored almost double the number of points of Georgia Southern but is still looking for their first conference win.
Georgia Southern almost tripped up undefeated Minnesota showing they might be more competitive than their record indicates.
Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
I do not bet a lot of Sun Belt but Coastal Carolina is an interesting team. I am not sure they are as good as their stats given that two of their wins are over Kansas and UMass (the other was against FCS Norfolk).

I do like that they can run the ball and are balanced offensively, 206ypg on the ground and 217ypg through the air.
Even more puzzling are their defensive stats. They are 7th against the pass though I am not fooling myself into believing they are just loaded with talent in secondary. Their run numbers are not as good but they are so good against the pass the overall numbers look good.
This game might be their best chance to get a conference win, if they are going to do so. They have lost both of their Sun Belt games by double digits.
I do think that win or lose they can keep this one pretty close. They are probably a live dog that nobody is looking at.
Georgia Southern Eagles
The Eagles are coming off a win against South Alabama last week.

It took overtime and was just by three points but you have to like the momentum of a road win and then coming home to take on a very beatable opponent.
Shai Werts is healthy now and good to go. He got hurt in the opener against LSU but rushed for more than 100 yards last week and he can be a true dual threat. He did not throw it much last season but had a 10/0 ratio and over 900 rushing yards.
Georgia Southern is going to run the ball with Werts and a group of effective backs. They are 23rd in the nation running the ball and that strength plays well against Coastal Carolina.
Georgia Southern gives up more than 30ppg on defense. That is inflated by the 55 points they gave up to LSU. No other opponent has got to even 40 points.

I was surprised to see Georgia Southern as such a significant favourite in this matchup. I see these teams as being more evenly matched but I guess we will sort it out on the field.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Coastal Carolina +6.5
I think this one will be a back and forth game where whoever has it last will determine the outcome, including the spread.
The total is really low for this one which makes me want to think over but GS loves to run the ball and keep the clock moving. It might be right on.
