Tulane Green Wave vs. East Carolina Pirates Predictions
The Green Wave, currently ranked No. 21 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, have been on a roll, winning 6 straight games since their loss to No. 10 Ole Miss on Sept. 9. Their recent victories, however, have been hard-fought, with the team narrowly escaping defeat in their last two games despite being favored by double digits. Tulane’s star quarterback, Michael Pratt, has been instrumental in their success, throwing for 1384 yards with 14 touchdowns this season.
On the other hand, the Pirates have been struggling, with their only win this season coming against FCS Gardner-Webb on Sept. 23. Their defense has been particularly weak, ranking among the worst in the country in terms of big plays allowed. East Carolina’s offense has also been lackluster, ranking 123rd in the nation in scoring and 130th in total yards per game. Their pass defense will be put to the test against Pratt and the Green Wave’s explosive offense.
Given Tulane’s recent performance and East Carolina’s struggles, the Green Wave are the clear favorites going into this game. However, as their recent games have shown, they cannot afford to underestimate their opponents. This game will be a crucial test for both teams, with Tulane aiming to maintain their winning streak and East Carolina looking to turn their season around.
Tulane Green Wave vs. East Carolina Pirates Pick
The Tulane Green Wave have been performing exceptionally well this season, with a 7-1 record and a 6-game winning streak. They have shown their ability to pull through in tough games, as evidenced by their recent narrow victories. Their quarterback, Michael Pratt, has been a key player, throwing for 1384 yards with 14 touchdowns this season. This offensive prowess, combined with their strong defense, makes them a formidable opponent for the struggling East Carolina Pirates.
On the other hand, the East Carolina Pirates have been having a difficult season, with a 1-7 record and a 4-game losing streak. Their defense has been particularly weak, ranking among the worst in the country in terms of big plays allowed. This, coupled with their lackluster offense, makes it unlikely that they will be able to hold their own against the Green Wave. Given these factors, the pick for this game would be the Tulane Green Wave against the Spread.
