Thursday’s Best College Football Picks & Predictions: East Carolina vs. Memphis
We used to have to wait until bowl season to get college football games almost every day, but not anymore. We can watch and bet on college football games every day except Sunday and Monday. Heck, we've got three tonight. Let's talk about today’s top college football picks.
East Carolina Pirates at Memphis Tigers
East Carolina will move the ball against Memphis’ defense. Their run game should find some traction against a lackluster Tigers run defense. However, they will not find enough to keep up with Memphis’ offense. Memphis has the No. 6 offense in the country (511.7 yards per game), No. 8 run game (236.9 yards per game) and the No. 25 passing game (274.9 yards per game).
East Carolina doesn’t stand a chance against an accomplished Tigers offense.
East Carolina is not a bad team; it's just nowhere near good enough to keep up with Memphis. The game will stay relatively close until Memphis’ run game gains enough traction to take over. If the Tigers avoid the same turnover issues they had last week, they'll easily cover the spread.
Pick: Memphis -10.5 (-108)
