T.M. Selection: Florida Atlantic Owls vs East Carolina Pirates - OVER

I am on the OVER in the Florida Atlantic Owls at East Carolina Pirates game on Thursday. The Pirates have had 3 straight games total more than 70 points and this one should do the same. East Carolina has scored 37 points per game at home this season. The Pirates are giving up 38 ppg last 5 games which includes all 4 of their conference games as well. Florida Atlantic is at the bottom of the AAC standings but they do score well. The Owls have averaged 29 points scored in their last 6 games. FAU has a problem though and that is an inability to stop anyone! Florida Atlantic has allowed 36 ppg last 5 games and allowed at least 38 in 4 of the 5 games. The Owls are facing an East Carolina team that looks different since making the QB change and head coaching change plus the Pirates are coming off a bye. This all is pointing toward a high-scoring game as the Pirates defense has issues remaining but the offense has gone to another level and the Owls O also has been on the upswing in recent weeks - other than bad game versus UTSA.

T.M. Prediction: 37-30 East Carolina.

Line: O/U 57
