East Carolina at Temple

The East Carolina Pirates were destroyed in their last game against Houston where they lost 42-3. It was by far their worst game of the season. This is a strong 6-5 team that has wins over UCF, BYU, and Memphis. I think those games are more indicative of this team. Temple for the most part has struggled offensively. They put together a couple of strong offensive games, but last week generated just 3 points vs Cincinnati. This team averages just 5 yards per play vs opponents allowing 5.7. The East Carolina offense is 0.7 yards per play better than the defenses they have faced and will punish Temple on both sides of the ball. ECU needs this game to become bowl eligible, so you know they will show up. Make the play on East Carolina.
