The line, and the room
The model and the market don’t fully agree on Coastal Carolina’s chances here.
Home −36.5 · O/U 54.5
Conditions
79°F · 9 mph wind · Cloudy
Coastal Carolina has had no measurable home edge since 2018 — +0.9 points (±4.6), home against road — 5th percentile of FBS.
62% at home, 53% on the road against FBS opponents (26–16 home, 25–22 away).
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge (why); the books use about 3. Against the closing line this stadium reads -4.4 at home vs. away over 74 games — inside the ±7.6 noise, so the flat number is the honest one here.
Night kickoff — historically worth about half a point more to the home side against the number, and not much more than that. The visitors travel about 563 miles to get here.
