Coastal Carolina vs San Jose State: Picks

Coastal Carolina had a solid season but will be without quarterback Grayson McCall who's in the transfer portal, but he hasn't played since October anyway. The Chanticleers will likely run the ball quite often, but Coastal Carolina uses plenty of running backs and none have taken over the role.

In this game, take Reese White to go under his rushing yards, as in his last five games, he's averaging 22.8 rushing yards per game.

San Jose State, meanwhile, has a great running back in Kairee Robinson who will get plenty of carries in this game. In his last five games, he's averaging 131.2 rushing yards per game and is averaging 17 carries per game, so take Robinson to go over his rushing yards.

Coastal Carolina vs San Jose State: Prediction

Coastal Carolina has too many players in the transfer portal, which will impact their offense to lead San Jose State to a blowout win.

The Spartans do have a solid offense and should be able to control the clock and carve up this defense on the ground and through the air.

Prediction: San Jose State wins by 14.
