Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans vs. Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Prediction

Both one of these teams has a negative record against the spread and the Chanticleers don’t have an enviable home record barely over .500 at 5-4. Coastal Carolina however, is where my money is going to land. They’re coming off of an impressive victory over Arkansas State and their second straight underdog win. Chanticleers Forward Demario Beck has really stepped up his game on the boards with 24 in his last two games and that’s where this game is won.
