The Sun Belt Championship Game has existed since 2018, and either the Appalachian State Mountaineers or the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers have qualified for every single one — but that changes this year.

My Appalachian State vs. Coastal Carolina predictions break down why backing the home team is the way to roll with your college football picks in this Sun Belt showdown on Thursday, November 7 at Brooks Stadium, with kickoff at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.

App State vs Coastal Carolina prediction

I don’t want to give away my handicap all at once, but I like getting Coastal Carolina as a small dog, so I’ll also pick them to win this game outright. The Chanticleers will be playing at home and have the ground game to deflate and already struggling Mountaineers run defense.

Playing in front of the crowd at Brooks Stadium will give the Coastal Carolina defense just enough of a boost to get a takeaway or two vs. a turnover-prone Mountaineers offense, thereby powering the Chanticleers to a win.

My App State vs Coastal Carolina best bet

My analysis
It’s been a tough season on and off the field for the Appalachian State Mountaineers. There's no doubt Hurricane Helene has impacted App State’s season, and the product on the field has not been what we have come to expect from this program.

The Mountaineers are 4-4 straight up and 3-5 against the spread heading into this matchup with Coastal Carolina, which isn’t great considering they had aspirations of a third Sun Belt Championship. And while App State has won two in a row, it's needed late touchdowns to secure victories in both.

The glaring problem for the Mountaineers this season has been the defense. They haven’t been able to stop anyone at this point and enter this game ranked 124th in defensive success rate and 127th in opponent EPA/play.

App State also ranks 129th in defensive success rate vs. the rush and 118th in EPA/rush. So, slowing down the Coastal Carolina duo of Braydon Bennett and Christian Washington could be a problem. Not to mention the dual-threat ability of quarterback Ethan Vasko.

Now, the Chanticleers have dropped three in a row, but Bennett and Washington haven’t slowed down.

Bennett has carried the ball 60 times for 391 yards at 6.5 yards per carry while scoring seven touchdowns. Washington has carried it 62 times for 317 yards at 5.1 yards per carry and four scores. Those two should do well setting up the Chanticleers.

Meanwhile, the Mountaineers also have huge issues with turnovers, ranking 133rd in giveaways per game vs. FBS opponents.

I expect the Chanticleers to control the game on the ground and get some key takeaways. With the added boost of being at home, I like their chances of getting the win in this Sun Belt matchup, where the winner not only gets the pride of winning this matchup but moves one win away from earning a bowl berth.

That said, I’ll take the point and a half if you’re going to give it to me.
 

App State vs Coastal Carolina same-game parlay (SGP)

Coastal Carolina +1.5

Braydon Bennett Over 65.5 rushing yards

Braydon Bennett 2+ touchdowns

The same-game parlay is pretty straightforward here. The running game is going to be the key to Coastal Carolina’s success in this matchup and if sportsbooks would give me props for both Chanticleers backs I would consider Overs for both of them.

Unfortunately, it’s just Braydon Bennett on the board. Bennett is still the team’s leading rusher despite missing a couple of games due to injuries, but he is healthy and rolling heading into this matchup.

Bennett rumbled for 132 yards on 13 carries in a loss to Louisiana. He followed that up with 69 yards on 10 carries in last week’s loss to Tory.

His rushing total for this game is sitting at 65.5. I’ll have a single wager on the Over at that number as well. 

Bennett has also found the end zone nine times this season, seven times on the ground and twice through the air. He has multiple touchdowns in three of his six games. Give me him to find the end zone multiple times in this one.

When his dreams of becoming the next Steve Nash died, all Andrew “Taco” Caley wanted to do was write about sports, something he’s been doing at Covers for more than a decade. A Journalism School grad from Holland College in Charlottetown, PEI, Andrew previously worked at The Chronicle Herald and Star Metro, but knew in his heart that his future lay in sports. He began at Covers as a news editor and has now done everything under the sun when it comes to content. His work has been seen on TSN, Sportsnet, VSiN, and CBS.

These days Andrew’s betting expertise is focused on his favorite teams – the Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto Raptors. He’s also an avid college football fan and bettor. He can’t be friends with you if you don’t appreciate a Service Academy Under. You can also call him Covers’ Sixth Man, as he regularly steps up to guest host Before You Bet and our MLB and NCAAF release shows.

The sportsbook where he does the bulk of his betting is bet365 thanks to its numerous prop betting options and competitive odds. His best advice? Find the balance between the numbers and what you see on the playing field. Then find the best price using multiple books. And don’t ask him where the nickname Taco comes from. It’s not an interesting story. Seriously.
