North Carolina A&T vs East Carolina Prediction
The East Carolina Pirates should be the obvious favorites because of the talent gap, but this line is showing no respect toward the Aggies. The North Carolina A&T Aggies are a fast-paced team that forces the issue offensively and has been competitive all year. NC A&T nearly upset Buffalo on the road, upset The Citadel, and took George Washington down to the wire as 15-point dogs. North Carolina A&T is a scrappy bunch that knows how to hang around. Give me the points.
