Coastal Carolina vs Troy Football Picks & Predictions

Game outlook

Coastal Carolina is on the road playing Troy at the Larry Blakeney Field at Veterans Memorial Stadium stadium on Saturday, 12/3/2022 @ 3:30pm EST. Troy -9.5 was the opening favorite and current line is Troy -8.5.

With the Sun Belt Championship on the line, the Troy Trojans host the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers at Veterans Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Since Coastal Carolina has won the last three meetings, the Trojans will want to flip the script in this one. As a matter of fact, Coastal Carolina is coming off a 40-point loss, while the Trojans have won nine in a row and are playing excellent football. Despite the Trojans' high chances, this one could end either way.

Chanticleers aim to bounce back

Due to James Madison's ineligibility for the conference title, the Chanticleers are in this one even though they finished second in Group A. As a result, even though the Chanticleers lost by 40 to James Madison last week, they still have a chance this weekend. Coastal still had a successful season by most measures, sitting with a 8-2 record, but the lack of challenges on their schedule leaves more questions than answers for this game. There's no doubt that if they do come out on top, it'll be by a narrow margin, since four of their last five victories have been by single digits. The Chanticleers don't have a lengthy injury report, but one name stands out. Coastal Carolina's chances are severely diminished by the absence of Grayson McCall (foot). McCall has established himself as one of the most talented quarterbacks in the country, so his absence is bound to have an impact on this game.
