Coastal Carolina vs Georgia State Prediction

The current betting odds have CCU listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. CCU is off to a perfect start this year, they have won a lot of close games so far but they are getting the job done. GA State has been terrible on the other hand, losing all 3 of their games this season and 2 of those losses coming at home. CCU will be getting their 1st road test of the year here but their QB McCall is very good and comfortable in this offense as he is returning from last year, and he wants to bring this program back to what it was last year as they were making program history, even being ranked at one point in the season. This is their 1st conference game of the year and he will be looking to make a statement in this game with the shape GA State has been in. GA State showed in their last game that they have no defense and if they are not going to stop McCall and this offense from scoring then they are going to run up the score here and win in a blowout. The best way to place a bet here is on CCU to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes

 
“As far as them contacting me, nothing’s happened like that.” - Jamey Chadwell on the rumors of him leaving to coach Nebraska.
 
 
“We’re going to move forward. I told those guys we sat around here thinking we were a pretty decent football team and we’re playing like we’re the No. 1 team in the country – and we’re nowhere close. We didn’t execute at all. It’s a very, very pitiful feeling.” - Shawn Elliott after his team’s loss against Charlotte in their last game.
