BYU at East Carolina

September 20, 2025
img7:30 PM Eastern

East Carolina lost a close 24-17 matchup with N.C. State, but then the Pirates demolished their next two opponents, Campbell and Coastal Carolina, by a combined 94-3 score. They have won seven of nine since Blake Harrell took over the coaching duties in midseason last year. The Pirates are 8-0 ATS off a double-digit win versus non-conference opponents. Katin Houser was 28 of 37 for 293 yards and two TDs with one pick against Coastal Carolina, which was held to 239 total yards. East Carolina is 4-0 ATS after totaling more than 450 yards in its previous game. This figures to be a more challenging test for BYU after it edged Stanford 27-3 as a 20-point favorite, and it went UNDER by 14.5 points. East Carolina has gone UNDER five of its past six games, and it is 7-1 UNDER after allowing fewer than 100 yards rushing in its previous game. The Pirates are 8-2 UNDER as underdogs, and six of their past eight September games have stayed UNDER. They have covered four of five home games. Take East Carolina and the UNDER.
