App State Mountaineers vs. East Carolina Pirates Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. This just feels like a first to 65 wins kind of game between two teams that really struggle to score and I think we could see more of that here when all is said and done. Looks like a low-scoring game not because of good defense but just an absolute brickfest across the board so give me the under here.
