The Georgia Southern Eagles face off with the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Saturday in week 10 Sun Belt college football action from Paulson Stadium. Coastal Carolina is coming off a matchup versus Troy this past week. The Chanticleers managed to win that one by a touchdown. As for Georgia Southern, they played Georgia State in their last outing. The Eagles ended up taking a tough seven-point loss. Check back all season long for free college football picks at Sports Chat Place. 

Coastal Carolina won their first half-dozen games right out of the gate this year, taking out the Citadel, Kansas, Buffalo, UMass, LA-Monroe and Arkansas State. After a tough loss to App State 30-27, the Chanticleers got a win over Troy 35-28 last Thursday. 

In the win over Troy, Coastal Carolina scored in every quarter—and allowed points in every quarter as well. QB Grayson McCall put up 294 yards with two TDs and a pick (and a rush touchdown). Shermani Jones led the rush with his 14 carries for 95 yards and a score. 

Over on the Georgia Southern side, they beat Gardner-Webb in their opener this year, but then fell to Florida Atlantic, Arkansas and Louisiana in the next trio. The Eagles beat Arkansas State before taking two more losses to Troy and South Alabama. 

Last weekend versus Georgia State, Georgia Southern gave up 14 fourth-quarter points in an eventual 21-14 defeat. QB Justin Tomlin put up 279 yards with a TD and two picks, while Logan Wright led the rushing attack on 113 yards and a score from 20 carries. 

The Chanticleers are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 on grass and 7-2 ATS versus a team with a losing record. Coastal is also 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. 

Meanwhile, the Eagles are 7-2 ATS versus a team with a winning record and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 after an ATS loss. Georgia Southern is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 at home as well. 

PICK: I’m probably sticking with Coastal Carolina. The Chanticleers had a nice overall offensive outing versus Troy, with 510 total yards and 7.7 yards per play. There are a few things to clean up however, like the seven penalties and tepid 17 first downs. Still, it was a good win against a plucky Trojans team. 

As for Georgia Southern, they out-gained Georgia State in total yardage 486-378 but had some trouble cashing in on their scoring chances. I like the Eagles to play another solid game here but I think the Chanticleers can nail the cover.
