Florida Atlantic vs East Carolina Prediction 

East Carolina had their winning streak snapped with an awful performance last week against UTSA, but they will look for their eighth win of the season here. The Pirates have scored at least 31 points in four of their last five games, but they allowed 58 to UTSA last week. Florida Atlantic has dropped four of their last five and they have allowed 35+ in all four of those losses. I think we are going to see another high scoring game here, but I do think ECU will get a few more stops. Take the Pirates to cover.
