My App State vs Coastal AI Prediction

Appalachian State heads into Thursday's road game against Coastal Carolina riding the momentum of a recent victory over Old Dominion. The Mountaineers' offensive strength lies in their passing game, which ranks 20th nationally with an average of 283.8 yards per game. However, they are likely to start with a ground attack that averages 152.8 rushing yards per game, taking advantage of Coastal Carolina’s vulnerable run defense, which allows 210.6 yards per game. While Coastal Carolina allows just 217.5 passing yards (67th nationally), that stat may be deceptive, as most teams focus on exploiting their weaker run defense and pass less frequently. 

Appalachian State has a strong track record in November, covering the spread in each of their last five games during the month. In contrast, Coastal Carolina has struggled against the spread, failing to cover in five of their last six games.
