The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (4 - 5, 1 - 4 CONF) are on the road this week as they seek to take out the hometown Arkansas State Red Wolves (5 - 4, 3 - 2 CONF). Arkansas State will be hosting this game at the Centennial Bank Stadium in Jonesboro, AR. Coastal Carolina will be coming to town after having taken a bad loss to Louisiana-Lafayette. Arkansas State is currently riding high on a two-game winning streak with victories over Texas State and ULM. Arkansas State will be heavily favored in this home matchup.

The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are taking the field with a team that is scoring 30 PPG on offense. Coastal Carolina is racking up nearly 400 yards of offense per game with big running back CJ Marable (650 yards, 7 TDs) leading the charge. Coastal Carolina can score but their defense is porous, giving up 30 PPG right back to opposing offenses.

Arkansas State comes into this game with similar flaws to Coastal Carolina. With that being said, Arkansas State has the massive advantage at quarterback with Layne Hatcher (1,560 yards, 14 TD, 7 INT) under center. Arkansas State is averaging more than 430 yards from scrimmage per outing and they'll look to run wild over Coastal Carolina. The Red Wolves are scoring 34 PPG on offense while surrendering 36 PPG to opposing teams on defense.

Coastal Carolina is very bad on the defensive side of the ball and that defense is definitely going to be a problem for the Chanticleers in this game. The Red Wolves are playing decent and have been able to play somewhat better and the home field advantage does help the Red Wolves. We like Arkansas State to take out Coastal Carolina in this matchup. Final Score Prediction, Arkansas State Red Wolves win, but do not cover ATS 37-27.
