East Carolina Pirates vs South Florida Bulls. The NCAAB pick for this game is the South Florida Bulls. Eastern Carolina is 1-5 on the road this year and struggled offensively, ranking 215th in scoring offense and 317th in field goal percentage entering this match.

South Florida lost seven of its past eight games, but the Bulls did a good job of keeping opponents off the scoreboard, ranking 60th in scoring defense and 94th in defensive field goal percentage.

East Carolina is a better team, but the Pirate struggled on the road this season due to an offense that averaged just 62.5 yards per game in conference road matches, and I believe the South Florida defense can shut down the East Carolina offense. The South Florida Bulls will win to a predicted score of 67-63.
