East Carolina vs Coastal Carolina Prediction
Coastal Carolina got smoked by Virginia and didn’t exactly win convincingly against Charleston Southern. Through two games, Coastal Carolina has zero passing touchdowns and four interceptions. Not great. East Carolina has looked sharp through two games which includes giving NC State a run for its money. East Carolina hasn’t handled the favorite role well lately which includes four failed covers, but this has more to do with Coastal Carolina looking shaky at best through two games. I’ll lay the chalk with ECU on the road.
