The Navy Midshipmen and East Carolina Pirates clash Saturday in a week 12 AAC college football contest at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The East Carolina Pirates look to build on their three-game winning streak. The Navy Midshipmen need a win after losing four of their last five games.

Mychal Cooper and Chance Warren have combined for 270 receiving yards and 1 touchdown, while Kai Puailoa-Rojas has 3 receptions.

The Pirates are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Midshipmen are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 conference games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The under is 4-1 in Pirates last 5 games overall. The under is 5-0 in Midshipmen last 5 games overall. The Pirates are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

The East Carolina Pirates have been head and shoulders the better team this season, they’ve won three straight, and they have an above average offense that can score quickly if you’re not careful. The Navy Midshipmen don’t look good, the offense cant finish drives, and the defense suffers because of it. Navy is ranked 127th in total offense and 125th in scoring offense. With that said, this is the last home game of the season for Navy, and there are 26 seniors on this roster. If there was ever a time to show up, it’s here. Give me the points.
