Coastal Carolina is coming into this game playing in some very high scoring games recently. They have seen 61+ total points in their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their 5 games this season. Their offense has been on fire as they have score 40+ points in 3 of their 5 games this season, but their defense has also been awful as they have allowed 80 points total in their last 2 games. They are going up against a James Madison team that has also been playing in a lot of high scoring games this season. They are coming off of a 21-19 loss to LA-Monroe on the road in their last game, but they have still seen 70+ points total in 2 of their last 3 games, scoring 63+ points themselves in 2 of those. They are going to be hungry to bounce back from their 1st loss of the season back at home and this is a very important game in the Sun Belt with both teams being 4-1, especially since James Madison is also 0-1 in the conference now, so neither team is going to lay down and die when they fall behind here. James Madison has a very good run game this season as they are averaging 187 rushing yards per game and 5.1 yards per carry so they will be trying to establish the run in this game and they will have success. Coastal Carolina has not been very good at stopping the run, averaging 195.6 rushing yards allowed per game and 4.9 yards per carry, so James Madison is going to move the ball on the ground and that will open up their passing game which has also been good. Coastal Carolina also has a good run game though as they are averaging 197 rushing yards per game and 4.7 yards per carry, and they will find ways to move the ball against this defense which will give them more options in the passing game. Between these two sides, there will be enough points in this game to push it over the total.
