Coastal Carolina has spiraled in Sun Belt Conference play with three straight losses. All of them were tough spots against two top level Sun Belt teams in James Madison and UL Lafayette, followed by one of the worst let down spots of the season against Troy last week. The Chanticleers were possibly looking ahead to their upcoming matchup against Appalachian State, who are winless on the road in-conference this season. Take the value here on Coastal Carolina ending their losing streak.

Stranger things have happened, but I don't expect to see a low-scoring affair when these teams meet on Thursday night. The Chants have struggled mightily on the defensive side of the ball, and while App State has been better there, the Mountaineers have had issues of their own. I expect the final point total to be pushing 70 points here.

If you like points, you won't want to miss this mid-week Sun Belt matchup. Neither team here has been particularly effective on the defensive side of the ball this season, but they both can score. For me, the X-factor in this game is App State quarterback Joey Aguilar. The senior gives the Mountaineers a distinct advantage at the most important position on the field, and I expect him to shine against Coastal's defense. I like App State to notch a road win here.
