Coastal Carolina vs. UTSA Best Bet: UTSA -10.5

Coastal Carolina enters this matchup after taking a massive hit to their roster, with many of the team’s best players entering the transfer portal. Conversely, UTSA heads into this matchup with most of its key players still in line to compete for the Road Runners. Considering how much the Chanticleers struggled throughout the season with their top guys on the field, it’s hard to imagine they get any better with backups in vital positions. Overall, UTSA should come out on top in a significant way.

Coastal Carolina vs. UTSA Best Total Bet: Under 55.5

UTSA has impressed up to this point of their season, averaging 32.3 points per game, while the Chanticleers trail just behind, averaging 29.8. However, it could be a tall task for these two teams to combine to exceed the set point total of 55.5. That said, a final score of 27-13 could be a realistic outcome for this battle.

Coastal Carolina Best Player Bet: Jameson Tucker 40+ Receiving Yards +110

Jameson Tucker enters this matchup as the leading receiver for Coastal Carolina on the season with 540 receiving yards and six touchdowns. Despite the Chanticleers’ struggles on offense, Tucker has stood out in terms of the opportunities he has gotten during the season. Assuming Coastal Carolina gets aggressive on offense and is looking to stay in the game, Tucker could thrive if he’s involved early, considering the volume he should be in store to receive in the team’s final game of the year.

UTSA Best Player Bet: Brandon High 50+ Rushing Yards +112

Brandon High Jr. spent most of the season as the team’s backup running back, patiently waiting for his opportunity to showcase what he had to offer. The running back racked up 419 rushing yards and seven touchdowns while rushing for 5.1 yards per carry in only 82 carries. With an increased workload on the horizon, High Jr. could be in line for a career game on Monday.
