South Alabama Jaguars vs Coastal Carolina Chanticleers — DeepSeek betting tip 20 September 2025.

While Coastal Carolina's 5.59 odds offer tempting underdog potential, South Alabama's overwhelming 1.15 favoritism reflects significant on-field advantages. The Jaguars return 15 starters, including veteran QB Carter Bradley behind an experienced offensive line. Their defensive front should dominate a Coastal Carolina offense rebuilding after losing star QB Grayson McCall and key linemen. The Chanticleers struggled mightily on the road last season (1-5 SU) and allowed 32+ points in 6 games. South Alabama's balanced offensive attack and disciplined defense (allowed only 23.1 PPG in 2023) create a tough matchup for Coastal's new-look offense. While the massive juice makes betting South Alabama unprofitable long-term, their team continuity, home-field advantage, and Coastal's offensive turnover point decisively to a Jaguars victory. Coastal's explosive potential remains but likely isn't enough against this caliber of opponent early in the season.
