The UAB defense has been torched for 50+ points in four games this season, including two of their last three. They have not been able to defend the pass, and will face a QB with a hot hand in Shane Carden who has 24 TD passes on the season and should add plenty more to that in this one. The Pirates are no strangers to the 50-point mark as they have gotten there five times this season, and this might be the worst defense they face all season. The Blazers are an ugly 0-5 ATS in their last five road games where they have been out-scored 246-113 or by 27 points per game. This opponent's offense is plenty capable of bigger things. Since Ruffin McNeill took over as head coach, E. Carolina has never lost ATS to a team at .250 or worse. Play on East Carolina.

East Carolina at UAB

The Blazers have been a better team since the insertion of QB Bryan Ellis. Despite the offensive improvement, Ellis still throws to many bad balls with 9 INTs, and the Blazers’ defense doesn't stand very tall. Last week at home they gave up 31 points to a Marshall team that was a season high, and to a team that didn't score more than 16 in any of their last four games. They now must turn around and play a team with a better offense. The Pirates simply play to outscore opponents. The four teams they were unsuccessful against are all far superior to UAB. The Pirates lost to Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Central Florida and Navy. They beat Marshall team by 27 and average over 45 points per game in conference play. As a road underdog of 7 or less, the Pirates ahve covered 18 of their last 22! I think East Carolina pulls off the small upset here.
