COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Coastal Carolina enters with the stronger offensive profile, averaging 26.75 points and 381.5 yards per game, led by 244.5 passing yards and 137.0 rushing yards per game. Old Dominion has struggled to generate consistent production at 16.33 points and 268.7 yards per game, and its 1-8 ATS record reflects how often it has failed to keep games close to market expectations. Defensively, Coastal has allowed 25.12 points and 412.0 yards per game, so the Chanticleers are not shutting teams down, but Old Dominion’s own defense has been even less reliable, allowing 27.78 points per game. The contrast in offensive efficiency is the clearest separator, while Old Dominion’s 55.6% under record suggests its games have leaned slightly lower-scoring than its totals market has implied.
Coastal Carolina has the better offense and the more reliable scoring profile, while Old Dominion’s season-long production has been too limited to expect a breakout here. The Chanticleers should control enough of the game to win, but the cleaner value is on the visitors’ scoring staying contained. My projected final is Coastal Carolina 27, Old Dominion 17, which supports an under on Old Dominion’s team total and keeps the full-game result within a comfortable Coastal win.
