Editor's Note - Odds are subject to change.

The line has dropped since its opening in favor of No. 11 Coastal Carolina (10-0 SU; 8-1-1 ATS) as 14-point road favorites in several shops in Las Vegas over Troy (5-5 SU; 4-6 ATS) with the line currently being found at 13.5 at DraftKings Sportsbook.

The public and sharps appear to be split on this matchup as the public appears to be behind Coastal Carolina while the sharps are grabbing the points thus far. Coastal Carolina's historic season is mainly in part due to the solid production of freshman QB Grayson McCall who sports a very impressive 20:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio while displaying poise beyond his years. When plays have broken down McCall has posted solid production on the ground with five rushing touchdowns.

McCall will have to make sure he keeps his team focused on taking care of business against a struggling Trojans team, and not get caught looking ahead to the monumental Sun Belt showdown with No. 17 Louisiana next weekend.

Coastal Carolina, which has reeled off 10 consecutive victories, have covered an impressive eight of those against the number on the season. Troy on the other hand has lost three of their last four games both straight-up and ATS but will be looking to build off their 29-0 shutout win last week over South Alabama.
