Taking EAST CAROLINA here. Ok. We have a Gators team that suffered through a terrible year and fired their HC. This is an SEC team playing in the Birmingham Bowl? Geez. Where is the motivation? I'll tell you where. On the East Carolina side of the field. You don't think these guys are going to be pumped up to knock off a big, bad SEC team? The offense is led by senior QB Shane Carden and he has a couple WRs who are pretty talented. This offense is #6 in total yards (#3passing) and will face the #7 defense in total yards. Gators with one of the most stale offenses in the land. Look. ECU played tough in a loss at South Carolina. They throttled NC 70-41. They beat Virginia Tech. They won't be intimidated here. Florida played Eastern Michigan and Eastern Kentucky non-conference. I get they are 'Florida.' But the Pirates are a live dog here. 10* Money Bomb EAST CAROLINA
