7-0 THU. FOOTBALL: 10* SUN BELT GAME OF MONTH
(NCAAF) Mountaineers (APP) vs. Chanticleers (CC),
Money Line: -112.00 Chanticleers (CC) (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* SUN BELT GOM on Coastal Carolina (moneyline.)

My Sun Belt GAME OF THE YEAR came last week on Appalachian State over ODU. This week though I like Coastal Carolina to find a way to deliver the goods at home.

The Mountaineers are now 4-4 and still in contention for a bowl game with three games remaining. After this they head home to face 6-2 James Madison, and then they finish at 6-3 Georgia Southern.

This is Appalachian State's best chance at earning another win, as it'll be a sizeable dog in the next two games. App State though is just 1-2 on the road and an imminent letdown appears imminent to me.

Coastal Carolina is also 4-4, but the Chanticleers are off three straight SU/ATS losses in a row and will be risking life and limb here to snap the slide. Also note that CC has performed well in this spot for bettors since last season, going 3-1 ATS in its last four after three or more ATS losses in a row.

Look a little closer at App State's numbers last week, and we find that I got a bit "lucky," as the Mountaineers were outgained 396 to 498 yards against ODU.

CC lost to Coastal Carolina 38-24 to Troy, but I think it bounces back here. QB Ethan Vasko has 1,401 passing yards and a decent 9:4 TD:INT.

Look for CC to find a way to win this one and snap the three-game slide.

Good luck, NP
