I think East Carolina finds a way to cover and possibly win this game with the losing streak that BYU has been on while East Carolina has been playing good football after a double OT win against Memphis as well as a huge performance against USF winning 34-13. QB Holton Athlers has been able to throw for nearly 2,500 passing yards and has 18 TDs on the year. RB Keaton Mitchell has been a weapon as well with nearly 700 rushing yards and 8 rushing TDs.
The biggest difference is the defense. While their offenses average near the same and points they have an 8-point difference margin in points allowed. BYU has six interceptions on the season so if they can get some turnovers on the defensive side that could help the Cougars slow down the Pirate offense. Althers has five INTS this year.
The over/under line at 62 points is an interesting one with these teams hovering close to 30 points per game and I could see this line being quite close in the final score here. I would side with the over here as I can see this game becoming a big offensive game between these two teams. It would also be fun to have this kind of matchup between these two teams end up in a shootout.
