Buffalo vs. East Carolina Picks
Point Spread Pick for Buffalo vs. ECU
- Buffalo Bulls +1.5 (4 Units)
The Bulls have won three straight road games, while the Pirates have lost three of their last four home games. Buffalo has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 74 points per game in their last three games, while making over 50 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 80 percent of their field goals during that stretch, while the Pirates made less than 65 percent of theirs. They rebound the ball well and grab more than seven offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of protecting the ball and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Pirates aren’t very good defensively, and they’re giving up more than 74 points per game at home, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Bulls. Take Buffalo to cover the spread.
