I get you ay feel opposed to laying points with Coastal, as the Chanticleers kind of feel different for whatever reason this year. However, while the loss to Georgia State’s a shocker, the Chanticleers have done a good job of blowing up inferior opposition all season long and I just don’t see this being a spot where that changes. Texas State’s had their moments, but this feel like a four score win for the Chanticleers. Give me Coastal laying the points here.
