Coastal Carolina vs Appalachian State Prediction

The current betting odds have Appalachian State listed as a 5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. App State is only 3-2 this season but they are 1-0 in their conference games after pulling off a big win on the road against ULM in their last game. They just beat ULM 41-40 and they are going to have a ton of momentum coming back home from that big road win in conference play. Coastal Carolina has been terrible this year with their 2-3 record overall and things have only gotten worse for them since conference play started as they are 0-2 in their conference games. CCU is also 0-2 in their road games this season as they have been barely finding success in their home games and App State still views themselves as a contender in the Sun Belt with their 1-0 conference record right now so this is a big game at home for them and they will bring their best effort to get the win at home against a struggling team. The best way to place a bet here is on Appalachian State to cover the spread in this game.
