Georgia State posted a 1-3 record over their first three games this year, with a win over Charlotte among losses to Army, North Carolina and Auburn. The Panthers then lost to App State before hitting their stride in wins versus LA-Monroe, Texas State and GA Southern. 

In last weekend’s game versus Louisiana, Georgia State had a 10-7 lead heading into the fourth quarter but ultimately fell 21-17. QB Darren Grainger finished with 98 yards and a TD on 8-of-19 passing, and Tucker Gregg led the rush with 99 yards and a score. 

Over on the Chanticleers’ side, they rolled right through their first six games this year, beating the Citadel, Kansas, Buffalo, UMass, LA-Monroe and Arkansas State. Coastal Carolina then lost to App State 30-27 before picking up a win over Troy 35-28. 

Back on Saturday versus Georgia Southern, the Chanticleers scored 21 points in the second quarter on the way to a big 28-8 win. QB Bryce Carpenter put up 85 yards and a TD, and Shermari Jones topped the rushing attack on 96 yards and a score off 20 carries.

The Panthers are 4-0 ATS in their last four overall and 4-0 ATS in their last four road games. GA State is 5-1 ATS versus a team with a winning record as well. 

Meanwhile, the Chanticleers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four in November and 4-0 ATS versus a team with a losing record. Coastal is also 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 on grass. 

PICK: I’m probably going to stick with Coastal, but staying away. The Chanticleers did most of their offensive damage on the ground versus Georgia Southern with 220 rush yards. That was nearly as much as the Eagles’ 233 total yards for the game. Coastal Carolina also came up with four turnovers, which helped quite a bit. 

As for Georgia State, they put up a valiant effort against Louisiana but ended up falling short with a relatively tepid 307 total yards and 4.5 yards per play. The good news is that the Panthers were out front for most of the game against a good Cajuns team but couldn’t hang on. I like Georgia State to hang around in a similar fashion here before Coastal Carolina pulls away.
