(NCAAF) Connecticut vs. East Carolina,
Point Spread: -27.50 | -113.00 East Carolina (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking ECU here. This is a ton of points to lay. I get it. Part of me just wants to play the under here. Connecticut is bad. Play old bad. They can't score (12ppg good for 124th ). Huskies have zero big play potential. They lost at Tulane 12-3. That isn't a score from their Lacross team either. Yes, the defense is decent. But coming into this place vs a team averaging 40ppg is a big challenge. ECU averaging 57ppg last 5 at home. Forget about scoring 57. I can't see Huskies getting to 16. ECU QB Carden is completing 66% of his passes with 16 TDs and 4 INTs. ECU is #3 in total yards on offense, Huskies #17 in total yards defense, but still give up nearly 26ppg. Pirates need wins to stay ahead of Marshall if they want to crash a decent bowl. Temple, BYU and Boise put up 36, 38, 35 at UConn. Sorry, but those offenses aren't on this level. And those games were home for Connecticut. 48-14 seems about right. 4* Money Maker EAST CAROLINA
