Coastal Carolina Chanticleers vs. Appalachian State Mountaineers Prediction

I’m on App State. It’s not a game I’m rushing to the window to bet, but I still have zero faith in Coastal to be able to pull this one out. We’ve seen App State put up some solid results this season, despite me having zero expectations from App State coming into the year andI think App State gets it done in this one.
