East Carolina<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Pirates have been streaky this year and are currently on a losing streak.\u00a0 They are also trying to revive themselves after one of the worst beatings of the season last week at the hands of Navy.\u00a0 They gave up an amazing 76 points, in part due to losing 4 fumbles against a Navy team that doesn\u2019t beat itself.\u00a0 They lost the game by 41 points despite generating only 30 some yards fewer on offense than the Midshipmen.<\/p>\n

Last week Dominique Davis threw for more than 400 yards with 5 TDs and zero interceptions in the loss.\u00a0 He has excelled in the new spread offense better than could have been expected and has a nice favourite target in Dwayne Harris.\u00a0 ECU has quickly evolved into one of the most explosive teams in the country ranking in the top 14 in scoring and passing offense.\u00a0 Unfortunately they are not having greater success in terms of winning now that they have joined the rest of the conference with their pass happy offense.<\/p>\n

The Pirates have won the the last three against the Blazers and 4 of the last 5 – they also have a 4-1 ATS record over that period.\u00a0 That coincides withe the Skip Holtz era when the team was very good but the majority of those games were pretty close.\u00a0 Another trend to draw on from that data set is that these two have played 4-1 to the under but given the way the Pirates have been scoring this year you can probably throw that out the window as a predictor. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alabama-Birmingham<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Blazers may have only three wins but they are all very surprising.\u00a0 Their first was an upset of Troy by a point at home, their second was against UTEP which was surprising because they only gave up 6 points (they are averaging 31ppg against) and most recently they beat Southern Miss two weeks ago, scoring 50 points on the road as 10 point underdogs to get another single point victory.\u00a0 This team seems to be improving but really you don\u2019t know what you are going to get from game to game.<\/p>\n

The biggest change from the beginning of the season to now has been the emergence of QB Bryant Ellis.\u00a0 He is not as much of a running threat as David Isabelle but with him at the controls they are able to move the ball through the air and have better balance.\u00a0 They were hoping that Isabelle could slot in for Joe Webb but his inability to throw was really hurting the offense and his injury have made the change process easier to manage.<\/p>\n

With their win on the road against Southern Miss UAB put the rest of the conference on notice that they can be a force to be reckoned with.\u00a0 The Pirates and their high powered offense should have no trouble moving the ball this week but the Blazers may be able to match them score for score, especially at home in a spotlight game that might electrify the crowd more than you would expect for a 3-6 team.\u00a0 The Blazers have an outside shot at a bowl if they win this week as their last two might be gimmes.<\/p>\n

The Pick: <\/strong>The safest play in this is the over, it wouldn\u2019t surprise me the way these two play defense if it was covered by the end of the third.<\/p>\n
