Tulane at East Carolina

The Tulane Green Wave opened the season with a loss to Wake Forest and then rattled off nine straight wins. The problem is none of the nine wins stand out as they have played a schedule dominated by home games against average or less competition. They have paid the price in their last two games, both losses to quality teams. East Carolina has not fared well on the road this season, but have been outstanding at home where they enter this contest at 6-1 on the season. The Wave have only played a pair of games on the road, and this will be a tough one. The Pirates have protected the home hardwood very well as they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine, and it will be the difference maker in this contest. Lay the points on East Carolina.
