Liberty vs Coastal Carolina Prediction
In this Liberty vs Coastal Carolina Prediction, Liberty is coming as -2.5 road favorites. Liberty has been in better form with back-to-back wins, while Coastal Carolina has won only once this season but have covered the spread in two of their three games played. Both teams play very good defense, allowing 39.3 points per game combined and both sitting on the top-40 of the country defensively. They are 4-1 to the under in their last 5 games combined and I expect another low-scoring affair today. Take the under 52 points in this one.
