East Carolina has gotten over the .500 mark at 14-12 on the strength of three straight wins. This team is pretty consistent from a line standpoint. The Pirates have not been more than a 6.5 favorite, or more than a 6.5 point dog since January 2nd. The problem East Carolina has had this season is they struggle to score on the road, The Pirates are averaging 72.4ppg at home, but a woeful 63.9pp on the road. They are also allowing more points to their opponents on the road. This is a game that a 10-16 Rice team can win. These are the kind of games that have given East Carolina trouble all season. Make the play on Rice.
