The East Carolina Pirates will play the South Florida Bulls in an American Athletic Conference Game on Saturday night at FAU Stadium in Boca Raton, Florida. 

The East Carolina Pirates are 2-2 this season after they lost to Navy in overtime by a score of 23-20 in their last game. East Carolina committed 40 more yards of penalties and turned the ball over two times in the loss. The East Carolina offense is averaging 32 points per game with 276.5 passing yards per game and 187.5 rushing yards per game. Holton Ahlers has thrown for 1,067 yards, nine touchdowns, and three interceptions for the Pirates this season. Keaton Mitchell has rushed for 386 yards and three touchdowns, while Isaiah Winstead has caught 28 passes for 402 yards and one touchdown for ECU. The East Carolina defense is allowing 18.8 points per game and 345 yards per game.

The South Florida Bulls are 1-3 this season after they lost to Louisville by a score of 41-3 in Week 4. South Florida was outgained by a total of 542-158 and turned the ball over three times in the loss. The South Florida offense is averaging 24 points per game with 154.3 passing yards per game and 161.5 rushing yards per game. Gerry Bohanon has thrown for 569 yards and six interceptions, while also rushing for 136 yards and one touchdown for the Bulls this season. Brian Battie has rushed for 295 yards and three scores, while Xavier Weaver has caught 20 passes for 252 yards for South Florida. The South Florida defense is giving up 35.5 points per game and 465.5 yards per game.

East Carolina is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 October games. The under is 6-2 in East Carolina’s last 8 conference games. South Florida is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 conference games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games on grass. The over is 10-1 in South Florida’s last 11 home games. The road team is 4-1 ATS in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.

East Carolina is coming off of a bad loss against Navy, who looked horrible in their first couple of games. South Florida was able to hang with Florida two weeks ago, but got absolutely drilled by Louisville last week. I am not sure what to expect from ECU after last game and South Florida has been good against the spread. I am taking the Bulls here. Note: This game was moved to Boca Raton due to Hurricane Ian.
