Georgia Southern vs. East Carolina Picks
Point Spread Pick for Georgia Southern vs. ECU
- East Carolina Pirates (4 Units)
East Carolina won 19 games last season. They have the edge here because they have their core players from last season returning, and they added some talented players, while the Eagles had to replace most of their roster. The Pirates shot the ball well at home last season, and they were also the better team at the charity stripe. They rebounded the ball well and grabbed more than 11 offensive rebounds per game. They also did a good job of protecting the ball and didn’t give up a lot of easy-scoring looks. The Eagles weren’t very good defensively, and they played worse on the road, giving up more than 78 points per game, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Pirates. Take East Carolina to cover the spread.
