Best Bet: Georgia State +7 over Coastal Carolina

Georgia State rolls into this matchup after winning their 1st three games of the season. After taking care of business against Rhode Island and Connecticut at home, the Panthers then hit the road last week and defeated Charlotte 41-25.

Darren Grainger completed over 81% of his passes for 466 yards and 3 touchdowns last week. He has yet to throw an interception this year and is sitting with a 183.9 QBR. Robert Lewis was the main receiver last week as he collected 6 passes for 220 yards and 2 scores. They held Charlotte to under 100 yards on the ground and just 3 of 14 on 3rd downs.

Coastal Carolina had a great opportunity to make some national news in their opener when they went to UCLA. Unfortunately, they lost that matchup 27-13. Since then, they have outscored their opponents 96-23. Duquesne was their latest victim.

After leading 45-0 at the break, Coastal coasted in the 2nd half. 10 different Chanticleers carried the ball for over 240 yards on the ground last week. They forced 4 turnovers and only allowed 4 1st downs on 13 attempts.

This line opened at 10.5 in most books and we have seen it drop down to as low as 6.5 in some places. Currently, we see 82% of the tickets and 90% of the money coming in on Coastal Carolina. With the line moving in the opposite direction, we must play the Panthers. The way that Grainger has been playing gives us comfort in this play.
