FAU vs. East Carolina opening odds:
- FAU: +7.5 (-110)
- East Carolina: -7.5 (-110)
East Carolina is 4-3-1 ATS on the season, but judging the Pirates only on their season-long record misses the context of their recent quarterback change.
New QB, new outlook for Pirates?
After the struggling Jake Garcia was benched midway through a blowout loss to Charlotte, Michigan State transfer QB Houser has guided ECU to a 1-0-1 ATS record as the new starter.
Even incorporating the period with Garcia as the starter, the Pirates have performed well at home all year. ECU is 3-1 ATS at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium; its only failed cover at home came by half a point against Appalachian State.
Florida Atlantic is 1-2 ATS in road games, posting an average margin against the spread of -12.3 as the away team (seventh-worst in FBS).
The line has stayed at its opening mark of East Carolina -7.5 across our best college football betting sites, but you can gain an edge on the odds by playing it spread at FanDuel (-105) or DraftKings (-108).
Best odds: -105 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 51.22%
