East Carolina vs Florida Atlantic Prediction
Florida Atlantic comes into this matchup searching for their first conference win of the season, but they have allowed 44, 38, and 41 points in their last three games. The Owls had a third quarter lead last week against USF, but they quickly fell apart and ended up getting blown out. East Carolina did just beat a bad Temple team, but their defense has also had issues, as they have allowed 45 and 55 points in their last two losses. Both defenses are really struggling right now, so I think stops are going to be hard to come by. Take the over here.
