Pick

I’m going to lean towards East Carolina and the points. These two teams just met a couple of days ago, and while this is a very quick turnaround for the two, this is a tough Tulane team to back right now as they’ve looked awful over the course of the last few games and East Carolina’s done well to pick up some wins over some other tough teams albeit at home. I think if Tulane wins this one, it stays within single digits. Give me the Pirates and the points.
