Experts new Liberty vs. Coastal Carolina predictions as Bailey, Purdie top Underdog Pick’em props
Liberty (2-1) renews its old Big South rivalry with Coastal Carolina (1-2) at 7:30 p.m. ET Thursday on ESPN, and the quarterback matchup gives prediction market traders a clear place to begin. Flames starter Deshawn Purdie has thrown for 563 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions through three games, including 211 yards and three scores in Saturday’s 51-15 rout of Ball State. Coastal counters with Deuce Bailey, who has amassed 826 passing yards and eight touchdowns after posting 250 yards and two scores in a 22-14 loss at Delaware. Bailey has supplied more volume and explosive plays, while Purdie has directed the steadier team and protected the ball. With Liberty listed as a narrow favorite and both quarterbacks facing defenses that have shown cracks, traders should watch the passing projections and game total alongside the side. Those two quarterbacks headline an Underdog Pick’em board that also includes the spread, game total and moneyline for Thursday night’s matchup.
