East Carolina Pirates vs Ohio Bobcats Point Spread Picks

BEEF O BRADY'S BOWL
This game should feature a lot of offense as a pair of experienced QBs will be at the helm for their respective teams. Playing in Florida in December should also bring mild conditions. I think that each team is going to design a game plan to put pressure on the opposing team's QB, and in the end that should be the difference maker. You have to give the edge here to the Bobcats as they have protected QB Tyler Tettleton very well, allowing just 16 sacks on the season while they have downed the opposing QB 34 times. While ECU has gotten to the opposing QB 35 times - about the same as the Bobcats - they have allowed QB Shane Carden to be dropped 28 times. ECU is on a four-game Bowl losing streak, and this will be the fifth straight Bowl game for Ohio, who has won each of the last two, both behind Tettleton. Since Ruffin McNeill took over as coach at East Carolina, thgis team is 2-12 ATS vs. winning teams. I think this one is a lot closer than it looks. Take Ohio and the points.
