I think this one will be a total beat down.
Personally, I think East Carolina runs Ohio out of the building.

Few reasons:

Ohio doesn't even belong in a bowl game.
Before beating 1 and 11 UMass, who doesn't even deserve to belong in Division 1 football, Ohio got beat by Buffalo 30-3, got waylayed by Bowling Green 49-0, and got taken to the wood shed by Kent State 49-13.

Holy Mother of God, that's a crap load of points given up.

Now that Swiss Cheese defense has to face Shane Carden and that offense!
Shane Carden is the best QB in the nation nobody heard of.
He leads East Carolina's tenth ranked passing offense.
He's thrown for almost 4000 yards this season.
Kid is beast, he loves to throw to his buddy Justin Hardy.
Hardy has 8 TD's and has over 1200 recieving yards.

Ohio's secondary did not see Jordan Lynch this season, who doesn't even throw like Carden anyway, Ohio's DB's haven't seen a QB this good all season, Carden is going to light them up.

On the other side of the ball, East Carolina brings one of the best pass rushes in the nation.
(look it up for yourself) the Pirate pass rush is a monster. 35 QB sacks, 14th ranked in the entire nation.
Ohio brings a good pass rush too, it should be noted, but not as fierce as ECU.

In order for Ohio to keep this close, their pass rush has to get into Carden's face, I don't think their pass rush will do that enough times.

Carden (ECU) is the better QB match up here over Bobcat's Tettleton (who really isn't that bad)
ECU has the better pass rush, even though Ohio can bring some heat, just not like ECU.

Ohio opened the season against Louisville, got crushed, and has played crap the rest of the season, they have no quality wins, even though they have won 7 games, unless you want to count Marshall as a quality win. I don't.

All things considered, SoS, pass rushes, defenses, QB's, point to a 4 TD blow out.

ECU 40
Ohio 14

*Be careful of the 62 total, at first glance you think game sails over, but there are going to be aborted drives due to turnovers this afternoon, lean under here, but the side is ECU, medium to large here. 3* for me -14.

Chalk covers this one.

[Darkside Magick]

Easy for the Pirates.....but these bowls been crazy!!

[stevenash]

^
They have been wicked crazy, I had the over in the CSU game, but that game was insane.

Like I said in post 1, on paper, ECU crushes Ohio.
Using ECU is teasers as well, I am not an advocate of multiple team wagers, but there are times to play them, this is one of them.

[Darkside Magick]

I got pirates and under ......trying to trick you with the 62...4 units on side and 3 on the total

[jjgold]

Good write up nashy

i am just taking over and drinking watching the game

best of luck

[tipsadontlikehim]

i took the same bet, confident

[Vinnie Paz]

Took them too love this play. Wanted ecu TT but 38.5 is a bit much. GL gang

[Simon Gruber]

I'm going to be a little more cautious because of this being Tettleton's last football game - at QB at least - for the rest of his natural life. I still like East Carolina, but I'll probably just put 75 bucks on it or something. Also, leaning over because of ECU's offense and where the game is being played.

[stevenash]

trying to trick you with the 62...l

This.
Knee jerk, first glance reaction is "this game goes to 80+"
But if you dig, the under looks like the better option.

Merry Christmas to all fellas, peace on earth.

[BIGDAY]

Already slammed it.

i honestly see see them winning by 30+

[wagerjunkie]

only worry here is Solich has shown to have a short leash and put in Darius Vick.

doubt he does it today though with it being Tetteltons last game and all...but who knows?

[daneblazer]

Ohio probably the worst bowl team this season. I haven't seen a soul on them including me

[EaglesPhan36]

Total is still climbing. 63 at some shops. Only problem with the under is that ECU could lay 50 on Ohio. Pretty interesting game because everyone thinks the side looks easy, etc. Good game to live bet perhaps.

east carolinas competition has been weak. i mean, just about every game they played was against some piss poor team. not to say ohio hasnt played anyone either, but to give up 2 TD's in a game such as this one is ballsy. I would'nt, especially when vegas knows that degens will be all over this one and the obvious pick are the pirates.
The loss to marshall recently has to be a concern for east carolina backers. Ohio beat them, but that was early in the season. Both teams faced marshall and i wouldnt say marshall is great by any means but if you gauge a comparison of opponents they faced id compare it to them.
ohio has had lots of time to prep for east carolina. the pirates are one dimensional with the pass, expect ohio to be ready for it.

good luck. dont want to convince u off ur bet but rather throw a diff point of view

[dfish]

Fade the MAC

4-1 @ worst

[ridims]

lets be entirely honest here, with how many advantages east carolina has here, and the beatings they have given other teams, you would figure they would open at a larger favourite, -16 or -17 easily and you know people would have still hammered them. However, the spread opens at -13.5 - looks like a lure thrown out for the fish.

[aman86]

beatdown time..ecu covers handily!!

Ohio has a lot of injuries... last 4 games they've been outscored 67-146

For me it's ECU or no play

i anticipated -9 actually. But i still bet them at -14

i love ECU's style of offense they remind me a lot of arizona state and oregon.

they tend to score in a hurry

however they did look horrible against Marshall and Tulane

but my angle here is ECU scores in a hurry so -14 won't be a problem since Ohio is awful

[Hot Jerry]

E. Carolina is the right side in this game tonight - They WILL cover easily !!

[chunk]

I played E Caro -13 days ago, but I must admit that I feel like a square with this wager.

[ridims]

you see.. posts like this should make east carolina bettors uneasy

[Overbettor]

Too many people on Ecu. Halftime wager or live action for me

[Darkside Magick]

East Carolina is a solid bet...watch the game..collect @2pm pst

[Big Bear]

should we sell points and take ECU -17 for +122?

[uvarunthetable]

BOL, made a small 7 point teaser with ECU -7 and the under on 70-- Don't think Ohio scores much here and on paper ECU kills them, but I just hate double digit favorites in these meaningless bowls, so many times they just don't show up and a team like Ohio comes in hungry.

ECU should be hungry . They have had a great season
