A season record is a record, not a forecast. Blue Chip Analytics' own research finds that beating the closing line repeats at close to zero from one season to the next - see most underrated and overrated teams. Read the table as what happened, not as what is likely to happen next.
Opened -14.7 in the preseason and finished -10.0 after the postseason, a move of +4.7 points. High -9.2 (week 15), low -15.2 (week 1).
PrePost
SP+ is an independent opponent-adjusted efficiency rating, one of the systems blended into the Blue Chip Analytics power rating rather than a Blue Chip Analytics number itself. Defensive SP+ measures points allowed, so a lower figure is a better defence - the rank beside it already accounts for that.
Source spread is how far apart the independent rating systems are on this team, not a margin of error on our own number. A wide spread means the models disagree, which is itself worth knowing.
The measured and applied home field advantage agree to within 0.0 points here, so smoothing changes little for this venue.

Coastal Carolina enters 2026 with a completely overhauled program. First-year head coach Ryan Beard, who led Missouri State to a 7-5 record in its FBS debut, has brought in a young staff, including offensive coordinator Nick Petrino and defensive coordinator L.D. Scott, both in their 30s. The roster has been reshaped with at least 56 new players, including 38 from the transfer portal, 13 high school signees, and five junior college transfers. This massive influx means the Chanticleers will rely heavily on newcomers and a new coaching system to define their identity.
With no returning quarterback from 2025, the starting job is up for grabs among four dual-threat options. Deuce Bailey, a redshirt freshman transfer from Missouri State, brings familiarity with Petrino's system. Trever Jackson, a redshirt sophomore from Arkansas, and junior college transfer Tre Guerra add experience, while freshman Osiris Lopez, Massachusetts' all-time leader in high school touchdown passes, provides upside. The winner will lead a pro-style offense that often operates with the quarterback under center, a shift from recent Coastal Carolina attacks.
Coastal Carolina Chanticleers is 1-0 against the spread in the 2026 season, covering 100% of games.

Coastal Carolina Chanticleers's consensus regular-season win total for 2026 is 4.5 wins, priced at -170 over and +130 under. This is the betting market's expectation, not a Blue Chip Analytics projection.

Home games and bye weeks add zero miles. The per-week Distance column shows the one-way distance only, as the return trip happens after the game is played.
