Conference USA vs the Sun Belt in some exciting bowl action. \u00a0Nothing new to be playing this time of year for East Carolina who I think will be in the \u201cBig East\u201d this time next season. \u00a0Watch out for the Cajuns who are playing in their own backyard. <\/p>\n

Buy Razor Ray’s Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Another solid showing by the East Carolina Pirates this season.<\/p>\n They finished second in Conference USA East losing only to division champ UCF. \u00a0Sometimes these Pirates even put a scare into the big guys from the BCS but not so this year, South and North Carolina handled their little brother rather easily…<\/p>\n The Pirates offense remained one of the most prolific in the country this year even though third string QB Shane Carden wound up commanding the troops.<\/p>\n Meanwhile running back Vintavious Cooper was not highly touted as a junior college transfer but wound up leading in rushing with more than 1000 yards to his credit.<\/p>\n This team can score…Its stopping opponents from scoring where they still struggle.<\/p>\n These guys gave up 59 points to teams like Marshall which prevented them from putting up better than a 6-6 ATS record. \u00a0Great dog potential though where they just have to win not hold the lead..<\/p>\n Lafayette had a nice season in the Sun Belt this year. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n They finished in three way tie for second in the \u00a0league and enter the postseason on a three game winning streak and with the advantage of getting as close to hosting a bowl game as possible. \u00a0Remember this team almost beat a very good Florida team at the swamp last month…<\/p>\n QB Terrance Broadway took advantage of the opportunity to return to his home state and become a starter (he was at Houston).<\/p>\n He is a nice run pass threat and for the Cajuns to win they will need him to play a smart game. \u00a0Against a porous ECU defense there should be lots of opportunities to put points on the board…<\/p>\n It would have been interesting to see what the number would have been if this game was on a little more neutral stage. \u00a0I am not totally comfortable getting on the chalk side of this one unless it comes down some from its current number.<\/p>\n Spread Pick: \u00a0East Carolina +6<\/strong> Pirates vs Ragin\u2019 Cajuns College Football Spread\/Handicapping Conference USA vs the Sun Belt in some exciting bowl action. \u00a0Nothing new to be playing this time of year for East Carolina who I think will be in the \u201cBig East\u201d this time next season. \u00a0Watch out for the Cajuns who are playing in their own backyard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":58373,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[57371,324,325,3551,57373,57374,35720,766,770,57372,5819],"class_list":["post-58362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-2012-new-orleans-bowl","tag-college-football-odds","tag-college-football-picks","tag-east-carolina-pirates","tag-east-carolina-pirates-vs-louisiana-lafayette-ragin-cajuns","tag-east-carolina-vs-louisiana-lafayette","tag-louisiana-lafayette-ragin-cajuns","tag-ncaa-football-lines","tag-ncaa-football-predictions","tag-pirates-vs-ragin-cajuns","tag-rl-carriers-new-orleans-bowl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58362"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58362\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58377,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58362\/revisions\/58377"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
