Why the East Carolina Pirates will win

Why the Charlotte 49ers will win

East Carolina vs Charlotte Injury Report

East Carolina will continue to be without Bencao Vungo, Callum Richard, and Julien Soumaoro. Charlotte will remain without Jeremiah Oden due to an undisclosed issue.

East Carolina vs Charlotte Prediction

Charlotte doesn’t play a lick of defense and has lost 10 of its 11 road games this season. Charlotte has allowed 75 or more points in seven of its last 10 games. That’s just not going to get it done. East Carolina smoked Charlotte 75-59 on the road less than a month ago. East Carolina shot 49 percent from the field and 54 percent from three in the victory. I’d assume East Carolina can do similar things at home. Thick line, but Charlotte is going nowhere fast. I’ll lay the points with East Carolina at home on Sunday afternoon.

The East Carolina Pirates and the Memphis Tigers meet Saturday in college basketball action from FedExForum. Here’s a Memphis vs East Carolina prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Memphis vs East Carolina pick.

East Carolina Pirates Betting Preview

This year the Pirates opened up their season with a 7-1 stretch, but since then it’s been a rough run as the team has plummeted back toward the .500 mark. East Carolina lost to only Jacksonville State in their first eight games. Otherwise it was wins over NC Wesleyan, Coastal Carolina, Mount Olive, George Mason, Stetson, UIC and North Carolina A&T. The Pirates have gone just 2-6 over their second eight-game stretch of the year, however. The two victories in that time were over Florida International and Temple. Otherwise the losses came versus UNC Wilmington, South Carolina, North Alabama, Gardner-Webb, South Florida and Florida Atlantic. The result has been a 9-7 run through 16 games so far for the Pirates.

Matched up against Temple back on Wednesday, East Carolina was able to eke out a close victory. The Pirates were in trouble after one half with a 41-32 deficit, but stormed back from there with a 48-38 run to eke out the 80-79 result. Tops in scoring was RJ Felton, who came off the bench to lead the way on 23 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocks for a double-double. CJ Walker added 18 points and nine boards, nearly doubling up himself. Also in double-figures were Jayshayne Woodard (15 points; five rebounds) and Jordan Riley (11 points; three rebounds), while Trevion LaBeaux chipped in five points from the bench.

Memphis Tigers Betting Preview

Over on the Memphis side, they opened up the year on a nice 6-0 run themselves. The Tigers have been able stay pretty steady since then as well. Those first half dozen wins came over Missouri, UNLV, Ohio, San Francisco, UConn and Michigan State. A 1-2 stretch came after that however, as Memphis beat Louisiana Tech in between losses to Auburn and Arkansas State. Since then it’s been a 5-1 run with a lone loss to Mississippi State in that time. Otherwise Memphis has taken out Clemson, Virginia, Ole Miss, Florida Atlantic and North Texas in that time for a 12-3 overall run so far this year.

In the North Texas game on Sunday, the Tigers exited the locker room looking up at a slim 33-32 edge on the scoreboard. Memphis kept the Mean Green at bay from there on a 35-32 run, eventually powering out the win 68-64. PJ Haggerty posted 27 points with five rebounds and three steals to lead the team. Dain Dainja came off the bench for 14 points, three rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes of action. Tyrese Hunter also finished in double-figures with 12 points, six rebounds, three steals and two assists in 38 minutes of work on the court.

Why the Memphis Tigers will win

  • East Carolina has lost each of its last eight games at FedExForum.
  • Memphis has won each of its last seven home games against East Carolina.
  • Memphis has won the first half in seven of its last eight games against East Carolina.

Why the East Carolina Pirates will win

  • Memphis has lost the first half in five of its last six day games against the American Athletic Conference.

Memphis vs East Carolina Prediction

I’m leaning toward Memphis. The Tigers played a close game against a tricky North Texas team in their last outing but everything worked out well in the end. There’s plenty to clean up—namely the 30-21 rebounding deficit and the 15 turnovers for 12 Mean Green points. That said, Memphis also shot very well with 54.5 percent from the field. The Tigers are a consistent scoring team so far this year. They’ve hit 68 or more points in 13 of 15 overall games, but three of those have come in the last five outings.

As for East Carolina, they had to mount an epic comeback against a hot-shooting Temple team (56.3 percent from 3-point range) in their last outing, but were able to pull off the win in the end. The Pirates have given up 75 or more points in four straight games (a 1-3 run) however, so Memphis should have plenty of room here.

In this article, we will formulate an East Carolina vs FAU Prediction for this college basketball game on Sunday, January 5th, at the Minges Coliseum. Let’s take a look at an East Carolina Pirates vs FAU Owls Pick.

FAU Is Struggling

This isn’t the same FAU team as the last couple of years and they are looking to bounce back here. FAU has lost each of the last two games and the defense has been a major problem heading into this game. Two games ago against Michigan State, FAU was defeated 86-69 and in the last game against Memphis, they scored 62 points, while the defense gave up 90 points. FAU allowed Memphis to shoot 55.6 percent from the field while they shot only 32.4 percent from the field. They also only shot 16.1 percent from behind the three-point line.

FAU on the season is averaging 83.1 points while their defense is giving up 78.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 40th in the league while the defense is ranked 328th. This is a team that can score, but their defense has been a major problem all year. If they want to be better in this game, the defense is going to need to be better. Forward Kaleb Glenn is having a strong season and he is averaging 13.2 points while shooting 55.5 percent from the field and 38.5 percent from behind the three-point line. 

Why FAU Will Beat East Carolina

  • East Carolina has lost seven of its last eight games against Conference opponents.
  • Florida Atlantic has won each of its last three games against non-AP-ranked opponents.
  • East Carolina has lost the first half in five of its last six day games against Conference opponents.

Back to Back Losses for East Carolina

East Carolina has lost back-to-back games, and that really hurt their confidence. Two games ago against Gardner-Webb, East Carolina was defeated 84-79 and in the last game against South Florida, they ended up losing 75-69. Guard Jordan Riley had a strong game putting up 20 points, seven rebounds, and one assist. As a team, East Carolina shot only 35.5 percent from the field and only 15.8 percent from deep. They did hit 22 of the 27 free throws, but in this game, they need to do a better job of hitting shots from the field. 

East Carolina as a team is averaging 76.6 points while their defense is giving up 70.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 150th in the league while the defense is ranked 171st. This is a team that can score, but their defense has not been great. Guard RJ Felton has been the top player for East Carolina averaging 17.1 points while shooting 39.1 percent from the field. There are four different players that are averaging at least 10 points per game. In this game, East Carolina is going to need the defense to step up in a big way. 

East Carolina vs FAU Prediction

What do both of these teams have in common? They both can really score, but their defense has been an issue. East Carolina is averaging 76.6 points per game but their defense has been awful giving up 70.9 points per game. They will score, but they are going to have some major issues slowing down an FAU offense that is averaging 83.1 points per game. There will be zero defense played by either team and this game is going to be a shootout. Back the over to cash.

In this article, we will formulate an NC State vs East Carolina Prediction for this College Football Military game on Saturday, December 28th, at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. 

East Carolina Struggled in the Last Game

East Carolina in the last game faced off against Navy and they struggled The offense scored 20 points, but the defense gave up 34 points and that led to the defeat. Katin Houser completed 20 of his 36 passes for 219 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The defense couldn’t slow down the running game and that led to the defeat. Two games ago, East Carolina scored 40 points but the defense gave up 28 points and that led to the defeat. East Carolina is averaging 32.5 points while their defense is giving up 27.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 33rd while the defense is ranked 85th. 

Why East Carolina Will beat NC State

  • NC State has lost each of its last five games at neutral venues.
  • East Carolina has won four of its last five games against non-AP-ranked teams.
  • NC State has failed to cover the spread in each of its last five games against non-conference opponents.
  • The underdog has covered the spread in each of NC State’s last three games.

NC State Looks for Seventh Win

NC State comes into this game with a 6-6 record and they are looking for their seventh win here. In the last game against North Carolina, NC State scored 35 points and they ended up winning by five. CJ Bailey had a strong game completing 14 of his 20 passes for 242 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Daylan Smothers finished with 13 carries for 83 yards and two touchdowns. Two games ago against Georgia Tech, they were competitive but they ended up losing 30-29. The Wolfpack are averaging 29.2 points while their defense is giving up 30.5 points per game. 

NC State vs East Carolina Prediction

East Carolina struggled in the last game, but they are going to bounce back here. East Carolina on the season is averaging 32.5 points per game and they are going to have no issue getting the offense out to a fast start. C State’s offense has been fine, but their defense is giving up 30.5 points per game and they are going to really struggle here. East Carolina will keep it within a field goal. Back East Carolina against the spread here.

The East Carolina Pirates and South Carolina Gamecocks meet Saturday in college basketball action at the Colonial Life Arena. Here’s a South Carolina vs East Carolina Prediction. This article will include a South Carolina vs East Carolina Pick.

The East Carolina Pirates are averaging 79.4 points on 43.6 percent shooting and allowing 69 points on 39.7 percent shooting. RJ Felton is averaging 19.2 points and 7.1 rebounds, while CJ Walker is averaging 17.3 points and 0.2 assists. Jordan Riley is the third double-digit scorer and Cam Hayes is grabbing 2.3 rebounds.

The South Carolina Gamecocks are averaging 75.3 points on 45.3 percent shooting and allowing 67.3 points on 40 percent shooting.

  • Three of East Carolina’s last four games against non-conference opponents have produced a total of 135 or fewer points.

South Carolina vs East Carolina Prediction

The South Carolina Gamecocks are obviously the more talented team that should be favored at home, but this is a steep line. South Carolina can be sluggish at times offensively, and East Carolina doesn’t allow anything easy on the defensive side. The East Carolina Pirates have taken care of business up to this point and arguably will have the best player on the floor. This should also have a rivalry feel, even though these teams don’t play each other every year. Could be a close one. Give me ECU and the free buckets.

In this article, we will formulate an East Carolina vs Navy prediction for this College Football game on Friday, November 29th at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville, North Carolina. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this week 14 matchup. 

East Carolina Pirates Betting Preview

The East Carolina Pirates are 7-4 (5-2) this year after they defeated North Texas by a score of 40-28 in their last game. East Carolina trailed 21-0 in the second quarter, but they scored the next 31 points to pull away for the win. The Pirates outgained North Texas by a total of 553-447, lost the turnover battle 2-1, and went 7-15 on third down in the game. Katin Houser threw for 298 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, while Rahjai Harris rushed for 128 yards and three scores in the game.

Prior to that win, the Pirates won three games in a row against Tulsa, FAU, and Temple. The ECU offense has scored 34.2 points per game with 278.7 passing yards and 162.2 rushing yards per game, while the defense has allowed 27.3 points per game this season. Katin Houser has completed 61.7% of his passes for 1,640 yards, 16 touchdowns, and eight interceptions, while Rahjai Harris has rushed for 858 yards and 10 scores. 

Navy Midshipmen Betting Preview

The Navy Midshipmen are 7-3 (5-2) this season after they lost to Tulane by a score of 35-0 in their last game. Navy trailed 14-0 at the half and couldn’t find any points in the second half in the loss. The Midshipmen were outgained by a total of 358-113, lost the turnover battle 2-0, and went 1-11 on third down in the game. Braxton Woodson threw for 13 yards and one interception, while Alex Tecza rushed for 31 yards. 

Prior to that loss, the Midshipmen defeated South Florida by a score of 28-7 but did lose to Rice and Notre Dame before that. The Navy offense has scored 32.1 points per game with 124.5 passing yards and 243.2 rushing yards per game, while the defense has allowed 23.5 points per game this season. Blake Horvath is Navy’s best offensive player at the quarterback position but is questionable for this game with an injury. 

Why East Carolina will beat Navy

  • East Carolina has won four of its last six November games as an underdog against non-AP-ranked teams.
  • Navy has lost four of its last five November road games against non-AP-ranked teams.
  • East Carolina has covered the spread in five of its last six November games as an underdog against non-AP-ranked teams.
  • Navy has failed to cover the spread in three of its last four games.
  • East Carolina has won the first half in three of its last four home games against conference opponents.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of East Carolina’s last four November games as an underdog has gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Five of Navy’s last six games in November have gone UNDER the total points line.

Matchup/League Facts

  • East Carolina ranks 134th among FBS teams for time of possession per game this season (25:12).
  • East Carolina ranks 4th among FBS teams for Q3 points per game this season (10.9).
  • Navy ranks 132nd among FBS teams for passing yards per game this season (124.5).
  • Navy ranks 8th among FBS teams for rushing yards per game this season (243.2).

East Carolina vs Navy Prediction 

Navy comes into this matchup after losing three of their last four games and they will try to bounce back with a victory here. East Carolina has won four games in a row and they have scored 38+ points in all four of those games. The Pirates haven’t played great defense this season, but their offense has done a good job of covering up for them. The key to this game is the health of Horvath for Navy. If he plays, I like Navy to get the job done, but if he is out, I will take East Carolina. Since we don’t know if he is playing or not, I will side with the Pirates here.

The UIC Flames and the East Carolina Pirates meet Saturday in college basketball action from Ocean Center. Here’s an East Carolina vs UIC prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best East Carolina vs UIC pick.

UIC Flames Betting Preview

The Flames got off to an uneven start this year, going 3-2 over their first five outings. The opener was a blowout win over St. Francis IL, then came a 91-79 win over Yale before a loss to Northwestern. The next pair for UIC were a win over Saint Mary’s MN and a loss to James Madison.

Matched up against La Salle on Friday, the Flames bounced back with a high-scoring victory. UIC was up 48-39 by halftime then hit 48 more points from there in a 96-83 win. Filip Skobalj led the way on 19 points, and Sasa Ciani doubled up on 10 points and 11 boards.

East Carolina Pirates Betting Preview

Over on the East Carolina side, they kicked off the year on a nice run with four straight wins. The Pirates took out NC Wesleyan, Coastal Carolina, Mount Olive and George Mason in that time before an 86-78 loss to Jacksonville State on Thursday.

East Carolina was able to bounce back from their latest loss with a win over Stetson on Friday. The Pirates were up by six at halftime and eventually powered out the 71-64 result. Leading the team in scoring was RJ Felton with 21 points and eight rebounds.

Why the East Carolina Pirates will win

  • East Carolina has won five of its last six games.
  • UIC has lost each of its last three games against the American Athletic Conference.
  • East Carolina has won the first half in each of its last six games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Why the UIC Flames will win

  • UIC has won the first half in each of its last six Saturday games against non-Conference opponents.

Matchup/League Facts

  • East Carolina ranks T5th among Division 1 teams for free throw attempts per game this season (30.8).
  • East Carolina ranks T6th among Division 1 teams for rebounds per game this season (46.0).
  • UIC ranks T7th among Division 1 teams for field goals made per game this season (33.3).
  • UIC ranks 11th among Division 1 teams for points per game this season (91.7).

East Carolina vs UIC Prediction

I’ll probably take a stab on East Carolina here, but you could argue it either way. The Pirates should have looked better against a struggling Stetson team on Friday. ECU shot just 36.4 percent from the field with a rough 3-of-14 (21.4 percent) from 3-point range and 12 turnovers. To their credit however, the Pirates powered out a win with some nice work on the boards and at the line.

As for UIC, they looked pretty good against La Salle on Friday. The Flames shot a nice 52.8 percent from the field with 37 rebounds and 30-of-34 (88.2 percent) from the line. It was quite the turnaround after getting drilled by James Madison on Thursday. UIC and East Carolina will likely both score pretty well here (assuming the Flames can shoot better than they did Friday), so I like a high total in this one.

Stetson trailed 51-35 at halftime and allowed 52 more points in the second half for the loss. The Hatters shot 47.4% from the field, 40% on three-pointers, and 69.6% on free throws in the game. Josh Massey led Stetson with 16 points and six rebounds in the loss. 

Prior to that game, the Hatters lost to Oklahoma, The Citadel, and Omaha. Stetson has scored 71.5 points per game and they have allowed 78.3 points per game, while also averaging 37 rebounds and 12.3 assists per game this season. Jamie Phillips Jr. is averaging 12.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game, while Stetson is shooting 46.1% from the field, 60.8% on free throws, and 29% on three-pointers this year. Stetson will meet USF after this game.

Stetson vs East Carolina Prediction 

Stetson comes into this matchup on a four-game losing streak and they allowed 103 points to Toledo in their loss on Thursday. The Hatters have struggled on defense to start this season and they are still looking for their first D-1 win of the year. East Carolina has won three of their last four games and even though their shooting percentage isn’t great, they are still scoring over 85 points per game. This Stetson team has really struggled this year and I have to keep fading them in this spot. Take ECU.

In this article, we will formulate a North Texas vs East Carolina Prediction for this College Football Week 13 game on Saturday, November 23rd, a Apogee Stadium.  Let’s take a look at a North Texas Mean Green vs East Carolina Pirates pick.

Can East Carolina Finish the Season Strong?

East Carolina is suddenly playing with a ton of confidence and they have won three games in a row. In the last game against Tulsa, East Carolina scored 38 points and they ended up winning by seven points. Katin Houser had a huge game completing 24 of his 37 passes for 314 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions. The interceptions were a major issue and they are going to need that cleaned up here. East Carolina has been averaging a total of 33 points scored per game. This puts them in the 32nd position when compared to other offenses in college football so far this year. Their defense has given up 27.2 points per game, giving them the 84th spot in the rankings for defense.

Why East Carolina Will Beat North Texas

  • North Texas has lost each of its last four games against conference opponents.
  • East Carolina has won each of its last three games.
  • North Texas has failed to cover the spread in four of its last five games against conference opponents.
  • East Carolina has covered the spread in three of its last four games.

North Texas Suddenly Struggling

North Texas is suddenly struggling and they have lost four games in a row. Remember when they were 5-1? That now seems like a long time ago. In the last game against UTSA, North Texas scored 27 points but the defense gave up 48 points and that led to the defeat. Chandler Morris completed 21 of his 36 passes for 241 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. North Texas has scored an average of 35.6 points per game so far this season. This ranks them 16th amongst other offenses in college football. However, defensively they have allowed an average of 35.7 points per game ranking them down at 124th.

East Carolina vs North Texas Prediction

North Texas still refuses to play any sort of defense and that is going to be the difference here. They are averaging 35.6 points per game but their defense is giving up 35.7 points per game. North Texas is going to run up the score, but their defense is going to be a problem and this game is going to be a shootout. Both teams are going to get close to the 40-point mark. Back the over to cash here.

The East Carolina Pirates and the Tulsa Golden Hurricane meet in week 12 college football action from H.A. Chapman Stadium on Saturday afternoon. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Tulsa vs East Carolina Prediction.

East Carolina Recap

The East Carolina Pirates come into this one looking to build on back-to-back wins after a 49-14 win over FAU last time out. After this game, East Carolina will head to North Texas to take on the Mean Green.

Pirates Looking To Keep Offensive Momentum Going

Jake Garcia has thrown for 1,426 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions on 60.2% passing and Katin Houser has thrown for 1,028 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions on 59.2% passing while Rahjai Harris has rushed for a team-high 616 yards and 5 touchdowns. Chase Sowell leads the Pirates with 602 receiving yards while Anthony Smith has 28 grabs for 532 yards and 5 TDs and Winston Wright Jr. has a team-high 36 receptions for 424 yards this season. Another four ECU receivers have 100+ receiving yards on the year. On defense, Zakye Barber has a team-high 63 total tackles while Gavin Gibson and Ja’Marley Riddle each have 3 interceptions and Elijah Morris has a team-high 4 sacks. As a unit, East Carolina has combined for 18 sacks and 12 interceptions on the year.

Why the East Carolina Pirates will win

  • East Carolina has won each of its last six November games as a road favorite against non-AP-ranked teams.
  • Tulsa has lost 10 of its last 12 games against conference opponents.
  • Tulsa has failed to cover the spread in seven of its last eight games as a home underdog.
  • East Carolina has covered the spread in four of its last five games.

Tulsa Recap

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane come into this one looking to rebound from a 59-21 loss to UAB last time out. After this game, Tulsa will head on the road for a matchup with USF.

Golden Hurricane Looking To Rebound

Kirk Francis has thrown for 1,249 yards, 7 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions on 58.8% passing while Cooper Legas has 675 passing yards, 8 touchdowns, and an interception on 55.8% passing. Anthony Watkins has 281 yards and 3 TDs and Bill Jackson has 296 rushing yards as well. Kamdyn Benjamin leads Tulsa’s receiving group with 55 grabs for 683 yards and 2 touchdowns while Joseph Williams has 239 receiving yards and four more Tulsa receivers have 100+ receiving yards as well on the year. On defense, Gavin Potter has a team-high 54 total tackles including 29 solo tackles and R.J. Jackson has a team-high 2.5 sacks for the Tulsa defense.

Why the Tulsa Golden Hurricane will win

  • The home team has won each of East Carolina’s last six games.
  • East Carolina has lost five of its last six road games against conference opponents.
  • Tulsa has covered the spread in each of its last four November games against East Carolina.
  • East Carolina has failed to cover the spread in four of its last five November games as a favorite against non-AP-ranked teams.

Tulsa vs East Carolina Prediction

I’m with East Carolina here. I just feel like I’m done with Tulsa after they were absolutely torched by a bad UAB team and really don’t feel like backing them in what should be a bounce-back spot. The Pirates haven’t been overly reliable this season in fairness, but maybe we’re seeing them wake up with bowl eligibility a possibility. I’ll lean towards the Pirates in this one.

In this article we will formulate an East Carolina vs Florida Atlantic prediction for this College Football game on Thursday, November 7th at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville, North Carolina. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this week 11 matchup. 

East Carolina Pirates Betting Preview

The East Carolina Pirates are 4-4 (2-2) this season after they defeated Temple by a score of 56-34 in their last game. East Carolina led 27-21 at halftime and they added 29 points in the third quarter to pull away for the win. The Pirates out gained Temple by a total of 500-405, won the turnover battle 3-2, and went 8-15 on third down in the game. Katin Houser threw for 269 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions, while Rahjai Harris rushed for 130 yards and one score. 

Prior to that game, the Pirates lost to Army by a score of 45-28 and Charlotte by a score of 55-24. The ECU offense has scored 30.4 points per game with 263.9 passing yards and 133.6 rushing yards per game, while the defense has allowed 28.4 points against per game this season. Katin Houser has completed 55.1% of his passes for 685 yards, eight touchdowns, and four interceptions, while Rahjai Harris has rushed for 561 yards and four scores. 

Florida Atlantic Owls Betting Preview

The Florida Atlantic Owls are 2-6 (0-4) this year after they lost to South Florida by a score of 44-21 in their last game. Florida Atlantic led 14-7 at the half and 21-14 in the third quarter, but they allowed the last 30 points in the game for the loss. The Owls were out gained by a total of 525-485, lost the turnover battle 1-0, and went 5-16 on third down in the game. Cam Fancher threw for 306 yards and one touchdown, while CJ Campbell Jr. rushed for 90 yards and two scores. 

Prior to that loss, the Owls lost to UTSA by a score of 38-24 and North Texas by a score of 41-37. The FAU offense has scored 24 points per game with 196.8 passing yards and 169.8 rushing yards per game, while the defense has allowed 30.1 points against per game this season. Cam Fancher has completed 59.2% of his passes for 1,460 yards, six touchdowns, and six interceptions, while CJ Campbell Jr. has rushed for 490 yards and eight scores. 

East Carolina vs Florida Atlantic Prediction 

Florida Atlantic comes into this matchup searching for their first conference win of the season, but they have allowed 44, 38, and 41 points in their last three games. The Owls had a third quarter lead last week against USF, but they quickly fell apart and ended up getting blown out. East Carolina did just beat a bad Temple team, but their defense has also had issues, as they have allowed 45 and 55 points in their last two losses. Both defenses are really struggling right now, so I think stops are going to be hard to come by. Take the over here.

In this article, we will formulate an East Carolina vs Temple Prediction for this College Football Week 9 game on Saturday, October 26th, at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.  Let’s take a look at an East Carolina Pirates vs Temple Owls pick.

Can Temple Build on the Last Game?

Temple only has two wins on the season, but they were able to pick up a key win in the last game. Temple scored 20 points against Tulsa and that was enough for the 10-point victory. Evan Simon completed 30 of his 46 passes for 297 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Terrez Worthy finished with 12 carries for 41 yards and a touchdown. Landon Morris finished with four catches for 97 yards. Temple on the season is averaging 19 points, while their defense is giving up 32.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 119th in the league, while the defense is ranked 116th. 

Coaching Change for East Carolina

After a bad start to the season, East Carolina made a coaching change, and they really looked bad in the last game. East Carolina scored 28 points, but the defense gave up 45 points and that led to the defeat. Katin Houser completed 24 of his 38 passes for 282 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Chase Sowell finished with seven catches for 138 yards and a touchdown. 

East Carolina on the season is averaging 26.7 points, while their defense is giving up 27.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 78th in the league, while the defense is ranked 95th in the league. East Carolina will meet FAU, Tulsa, and North Texas after this one.

East Carolina vs Temple Prediction

This total is too high. East Carolina’s offense has been fine, but this is going to be all about the lack of scoring by Temple. Temple overall is averaging only 19 points per game, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. Look for both teams to really struggle to get the offense going here. This total really should be set at 41 or 42 points. Back the under to cash here.

The East Carolina Pirates and the Army Black Knights meet in week 8 college football action from Michie Stadium on Saturday afternoon. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s an Army vs East Carolina Prediction.

East Carolina Recap

The East Carolina Pirates come into this game looking to bounce back after their bye week, having a chance to refresh after a 55-24 loss to Charlotte last time out to drop to 3-3 on the year. After this game, East Carolina will head home for a matchup with the Temple Owls.

Pirates Trying To Get Back Above .500

Jake Garcia has thrown for 1,426 yards, 7 touchdowns and 11 interceptions on 60.2% passing while Rahjai Harris has rushed for a team-high 397 yards and 3 touchdowns. Chase Sowell leads the Pirates with 298 receiving yards while Anthony Smith has 18 grabs for 284 yards and 2 TDs and Winston Wright Jr. has a team-high 25 receptions for 280 yards this season. Another four ECU receivers have 100+ receiving yards on the year. On defense, Omar Rogers has a team-high 42 total tackles while Gavin Gibson has 2 interceptions and Elijah Morris has a team-high 3 sacks. As a unit, East Carolina has combined for 14 sacks and 7 interceptions on the year.

Why the East Carolina Pirates will win

  • Army has lost three of its last four home games in October.
  • East Carolina has covered the spread in seven of its last eight October games as a road underdog.
  • Army has failed to cover the spread in 13 of its last 17 home games in October.

Army Recap

The Army Black Knights come into this one looking to remain unbeaten after improving to 6-0 on the year thanks to a 44-10 win over UAB last time out. After this game, Army will have their matchup with Air Force following a bye week.

Black Knights Continuing Push For AAC Title Spot

Bryson Daily has thrown for 482 yards and 6 touchdowns on 48% passing while also leading the Army option with 738 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns this season. Noah Short has 397 rushing yards and 2 TDs and Kanye Udoh also has 531 rushing yards with 4 scores. Casey Reynolds leads the Black Knights with 7 receptions for 208 yards and 3 touchdowns and Noah Short has 7 grabs for 201 yards and 3 scores as well. On defense, Andon Thomas has a team-high 34 total tackles including 14 solo tackles while Jaydan Mayes and Casey Larkin each have a pair of interceptions. Brett Gerena, Elo Modozie and Eric Ford all have a pair of sacks as well this season. As a unit, Army’s defense has combined for 10 sacks and 8 interceptions so far this season.

Why the Army Black Knights will win

  • East Carolina has lost each of its last 14 games against AP-ranked teams.
  • Army has won each of its last 10 games.
  • Army has covered the spread in each of its last eight games.
  • East Carolina has failed to cover the spread in three of its last four games.

Army vs East Carolina Prediction

I’m on Army here. Until Army slows down, or shows signs of letting up, I’m not getting off of this train. The Black Knights may not be the flashiest offense and the option offense usually chews up a lot of clock, but the Army offense has been explosive with tons of big plays, and I just think that East Carolina will be unable to match what Army brings to the table for a full 60 minutes. Give me Army here.

In this article, we will formulate a Charlotte vs East Carolina prediction for this College Football game on Saturday, October 5th at Jerry Richardson Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this Week 6 matchup. 

Charlotte 49ers Betting Preview

The Charlotte 49ers are 2-3 (1-0) this year after they defeated Rice by a score of 21-20 last week. Charlotte trailed 10-0 at halftime and 20-14 in the fourth quarter, but they scored the game-winning touchdown with 47 seconds left in the game for the win. The 49ers were outgained by a total of 463-304, lost the turnover battle 1-0, and went 5-14 on third down in the game. Deshawn Purdie threw for 183 yards and two touchdowns, while Cartevious Norton rushed for 56 yards on 10 carries. 

Charlotte also has a win against Gardner-Webb by one point, but they have losses against James Madison, North Carolina, and Indiana. The Charlotte offense has scored 17.8 points per game with 238.8 passing yards and 79.4 rushing yards per game, while the defense has allowed 33.2 points per game this season. The 49ers have gone 29.6% on third down and 6-13 on fourth down so far this season. Deshawn Purdie has completed 61.4% of his passes for 511 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception, while Jairus Mack has caught 11 passes for 214 yards. 

East Carolina Pirates Betting Preview

The East Carolina Pirates are 3-2 (1-0) this season after they defeated UTSA by a score of 30-20 in their last game. East Carolina trailed 13-10 at halftime, but they scored the first 17 points in the second half to pull away for the win. The Pirates were outgained by a total of 456-341, won the turnover battle 3-2, and went 5-16 on third down in the game. Jake Garcia threw for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, while Rahjai Harris rushed for 60 yards on 25 carries. 

East Carolina also has wins against Norfolk State and Old Dominion but did lose two games against Appalachian State and Liberty. The ECU offense has scored 27 points per game with 273 passing yards and 120.6 rushing yards per game, while the defense has allowed 18.6 points per game this season. The Pirates have gone 45.6% on third down and 1-2 on fourth down through five games. Jake Garcia has completed 59.5% of his passes for 1,315 yards, seven touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, while Anthony Smith has caught 17 passes for 277 yards and two scores. 

Why Charlotte will cover

  • East Carolina has lost seven of its last nine games against conference opponents.
  • The home team has won three of Charlotte’s last four games.
  • The underdog has covered the spread in three of Charlotte’s last four games.
  • East Carolina has lost the first half in three of its last four road games against conference opponents.

Total Points Facts

  • Five of East Carolina’s last six games as a favorite have gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Three of Charlotte’s last four games against non-AP-ranked teams have gone OVER the total points line.

Matchup/League Facts

  • Charlotte ranks T133rd among FBS teams for Q1 points per game this season (0.6).
  • Charlotte ranks T130th among FBS teams for H1 points per game this season (6.0).
  • East Carolina ranks T16th among FBS teams for Q1 points per game this season (10.6).
  • East Carolina ranks 119th among FBS teams for Q4 points per game this season (3.8).

Charlotte vs East Carolina Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup 1-0 in conference play and will look for their second conference win here. Charlotte had a nice second-half comeback in their last game against Rice, but both of their wins this year have been by just one point. East Carolina also came from behind to win last week and they played pretty well against Liberty and App State, so I think they are the better team here. My one concern with East Carolina is that Garcia has thrown 11 interceptions so far this year, which can be very bad on the road. I do think ECU will get the win, but I am going to grab the points with Charlotte and hope they can force a few turnovers.

The Pirates were out gained by a total of 414-331, tied the turnover battle at two, and went 7-15 on third down in the game.

UTSA Roadrunners Betting Preview

The UTSA Roadrunners are 2-2 this year after they defeated Houston Christian by a score of 45-7 in their last game. UTSA led 31-7 at halftime and put the game on cruise control in the second half for the win. The Roadrunners out gained HCU by a total of 536-177, tied the turnover battle at one, and went 9-13 on third down in the game. Owen McCown threw for 226 yards and three touchdowns, while Willie McCoy caught two passes for 85 yards and one score.

The UTSA offense has scored 22.5 points per game with 247.8 passing yards and 138.8 rushing yards per game, while the defense has allowed 32 points against per game this season.

Why UTSA will cover

  • UTSA ranks 116th among FBS teams for H1 opponent points per game this season (19.0).

East Carolina vs UTSA Prediction 

East Carolina had a great chance to pick up a very good win over Liberty last week, but they went cold in the second half and couldn’t get the win. The Pirates have lost two games in a row, but they will be at home for this game. UTSA has beaten up on two bad teams so far this season, while also getting blown out by Texas and Texas State, so it is tough to tell where they are at as a team. ECU has battled some turnover issues, while Owen McCown has done a very good job of protecting the football for UTSA, which could be the difference in this game. Take the points with UTSA here.

In this article, we will formulate a Liberty vs East Carolina prediction for this College Football Week 4 game on Saturday, September 21st, at Williams Stadium.  Let’s take a look at a Liberty Flames vs East Carolina Pirates pick. 

Liberty Have Impressed

Liberty has impressed to start the season and they come into this game with a 3-0 record. Liberty in the last game faced off against UTEP and they were able to secure a 28-10 victory. Liberty’s offense wasn’t exactly elite in the last game but they still scored the 28 points. Quarterback Kaiden Salter completed 15 of his 19 passes for 228 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. 

Billy Lucas had a huge game putting up 21 carries for 104 yards and three touchdowns. In two of the three games the defense gave up 24 points and that’s something that could be improved upon. In this game, the Liberty’s going to need the offense to put on a show and Slater is going to put on a show. 

East Carolina Looks to Bounce Back

East Carolina won the first two games of the season but in the last game against Appalachian State, they fell just short. At the end of the first quarter, East Carolina was up 16-0, but they only scored three points the rest of the game and ended up losing 22-19. Jake Garcia did have a strong game completing 18 of his 28 passes for 226 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Rahjai Harris also finished with 18 carries for 87 yards. 

Two games ago against Old Dominion, East Carolina was also tested but they ended up winning 20-14. In that game, Jake Garica threw four touchdowns and they can’t let that happen again here. East Carolina needs to find the offensive success early and not take the foot off the gas. 

Why East Carolina Will Cover Against Liberty

  • The underdog has won three of East Carolina’s last four games.
  • Liberty has failed to cover the spread in six of its last seven games.
  • East Carolina has covered the spread in four of its last five games as an underdog.

Liberty vs East Carolina Prediction

East Carolina can keep this game close. Jake Garcia threw for 226 yards in the last game and he’s going to find the offensive success again here. He is going to limit the turnovers. The better quarterback in this game is Slater but he hasn’t been as good as he was last season. Liberty’s offense isn’t going to be running up the score here, and it’s going to be East Carolina that is going to keep this game close. Back East Carolina against the spread here.

In this article, we will formulate an East Carolina vs Appalachian State prediction for this College Football game on Saturday, September 14th at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville, North Carolina. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this Week 3 matchup. 

Appalachian State Mountaineers Betting Preview

The Appalachian State Mountaineers are 1-1 this year after they lost to Clemson by a score of 66-20 in their last game. Appalachian State allowed 35 points in the first quarter and trailed 56-13 at halftime, but only allowed 10 points in the second half. The Mountaineers were outgained by a total of 712-363, forced three turnovers, and went 4-13 on third down. Joey Aguilar threw for 214 yards and one touchdown, while Anderson Castle rushed for 80 yards and one score on seven carries. 

Appalachian State defeated ETSU by a score of 38-10 in their first game of the season, but they ran into a buzzsaw against Clemson. The App State offense has scored 29 points per game with 270 passing yards and 161.5 rushing yards per game, while the defense has allowed 38 points per game this season. The Mountaineers are 38.5% on third down and 1-2 on fourth down through two games. Joey Aguilar has completed 51.9% of his passes for 540 yards and three touchdowns, while Kaedin Robinson has caught 11 passes for 161 yards this year. App State will take on South Alabama and Liberty after this one.

East Carolina Pirates Betting Preview

The East Carolina Pirates are 2-0 this season after they defeated Old Dominion by a score of 20-14 in their last game. East Carolina trailed 7-6 at halftime, but they were able to outscore Old Dominion by a total of 14-7 in the second half for the win. The Pirates outgained Old Dominion by a total of 466-287, turned the ball over four times, and went 12-22 on third down in the game. Jake Garcia threw for 283 yards and four interceptions, while Rahjai Harris rushed for 131 yards and two scores. 

East Carolina defeated Norfolk State by a score of 42-3 in their first game, as they cruised to the easy win. The ECU offense has scored 31 points per game with 320.5 passing yards and 165.5 rushing yards per game, while the defense has allowed 8.5 points per game this season. The Pirates are 54.3% on third down and have not attempted a fourth down so far this year. Jake Garcia has completed 64.9% of his passes for 591 yards, four touchdowns, and seven interceptions, while Anthony Smith has caught 10 passes for 156 yards and one score. 

East Carolina vs Appalachian State Prediction 

East Carolina comes into this matchup looking for their third straight win to start the season, but they have turned the ball over way too much in their first two games. The Pirates will have the home-field advantage and will take on an App State defense that was just blown out, but they have to protect the football to have success. Appalachian State will be looking to bounce back after last week’s blowout loss, but I really like the ECU passing attack. I think the Pirates will continue to have success through the air and I like them with the points at home.

The East Carolina Pirates and Old Dominion Monarchs meet Saturday in week 2 college football action at S.B. Ballard Stadium. Here’s an Old Dominion vs East Carolina Prediction. This article will include an Old Dominion vs East Carolina Pick.

Old Dominion Monarchs Betting Preview

The Old Dominion Monarchs lost to South Carolina in their opener and play Virginia Tech and Bowling Green next. Old Dominion hopes to avoid its first 0-2 start since the 2018 season. Grant Wilson is completing 57.9 percent of his passes for 197 yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 interceptions. Isiah Paige and Myles Alston have combined for 155 receiving yards and 1 touchdown, while Pat Conroy has 2 receptions.

The Old Dominion Monarchs ground game is averaging 108 yards per contest, and Aaron Young leads the way with 56 yards on 16 carries.

  • East Carolina has lost five of its last six road games.
  • Old Dominion has covered the spread in each of its last seven games as an underdog against non-AP-ranked teams.

Total Points Facts

  • Each of Old Dominion’s last four games as an underdog against non-AP-ranked teams have gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Each of East Carolina’s last four games against opponents from the Sun Belt Conference have gone OVER the total points line.

Matchup/League Facts

  • Old Dominion ranks T1st among FBS teams for Q3 win percentage this season (1.000).
  • Old Dominion ranks T1st among FBS teams for H2 win percentage this season (1.000).
  • East Carolina ranks T1st among FBS teams for Q2 opponent points per game this season (0.0).
  • East Carolina ranks T1st among FBS teams for Q3 opponent points per game this season (0.0).

Old Dominion vs East Carolina Prediction

East Carolina waxes Norfolk State and all of a sudden is laying points on the road. I’m not buying it. East Carolina still has some showing and proving to do, as this is a bottom-tier team in college football until proven otherwise. Also, East Carolina is 3-5 ATS in its last 8 games as a favorite, and 3 of those 5 failed covers were outright losses. Old Dominion just went toe to toe with South Carolina on the road. At home, I’d assume the Monarchs like their chances against East Carolina. Give me the points with ODU at home, a game it could easily win outright.

In this article, we will formulate an East Carolina vs South Florida betting prediction for this college basketball showdown on Friday, March 15th at Dickies Arena. We will take a look at: 

-The East Carolina Pirates recent form and recent player performance

-The South Florida Bulls recent form and recent player performance

East Carolina offense Impresses

 

East Carolina faced off against Tulsa in the last game and they scored 84 points on the way to the victory. Ezra Ausar is having a strong season and against Tulsa he put up 28 points, 10 rebounds, and two assists. East Carolina on the season is averaging 69.6 points while their defense is giving up 69.9 points per game. If they want a chance to win this game, the defense is going to need to step up. If the defense struggles, this could be a very long game.

South Florida is One Seed

South Florida is the one seed and they have confidence heading into this game. In the last game against Tulsa though, South Florida didn’t play their best game of the season, and they ended up winning 76-70. Kaesean Pryor had a strong game putting up 29 points, 11 rebounds and one assist. South Florida on the season is averaging 75.4 points while their defense is giving up 68.6 points per game. If the defense is good here, South Florida should be in good shape. 

East Carolina vs South Florida Betting Prediction

South Florida might have lost their last game, but they are going to bounce back here. South Florida on the season is averaging 75.4 points, and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. East Carolina is averaging only 69.6 points per game, and they will finish with much less than that here. This game is going to get out of hand early. Back South Florida against the spread.

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane and East Carolina Pirates meet Thursday in the college basketball AAC Second Round at the Dickies Arena. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Tulsa Golden Hurricane vs East Carolina Pirates prediction.

Tulsa Golden Hurricane Betting Preview

The Tulsa Golden Hurricane are coming off wins over Temple and USF. The Tulsa Golden Hurricane are averaging 74.9 points on 43.9 percent shooting and allowing 73.5 points on 42.5 percent shooting. PJ Haggerty is averaging 20.9 points and 5.4 rebounds, while Cobe Williams is averaging 13.2 points and 3.6 assists. Keaston Willis is the third double-digit scorer and Jared Garcia is dishing 0.9 assists. The Tulsa Golden Hurricane are shooting 32.4 percent from beyond the arc and 73.9 percent from the free throw line.

The East Carolina Pirates are allowing 32 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 31.1 rebounds per game.

Tulsa Golden Hurricane vs East Carolina Pirates prediction

The East Carolina Pirates are getting the benefit of the doubt I guess because they’ve won 5 straight games against Tulsa. However, it’s the Tulsa Golden Hurricane who enter this game playing the better ball, which includes wins in 4 of their last 6 games. East Carolina hasn’t won a game since February 14 and is getting torched defensively, allowing 80-plus points in four straight games. Early start, give me the free bucket with the team in better form.
