Charlotte vs East Carolina Prediction
Charlotte is one of the worst teams in college football and doesn’t do anything well on either side of the ball. It’s why the line is what it is. East Carolina is an above-average offense and should have its way in this spot. However, that doesn’t mean we make East Carolina such an insane favorite. East Carolina has failed to cover two of its last three games as a double-digit favorite, and this will be just the sixth time since 2019 where it’s been favorites of 24 or more points. We’re getting four touchdowns and a hook on top of it. This feels like a lot, regardless of how bad Charlotte is. Give me the points.
