East Carolina is always at their most dangerous in the role of the underdog. There’s no doubt the Pirates will be up to play UNC, a team that is battling several injuries to their offensive line. The Tar Heels needed 12 unanswered points in the fourth quarter last week to beat a down UConn team 12-10. They’ll need a lot more than that to go their way to fend off this pesky Pirates’ squad. The Pirates continue to steal profits with a 13-4 ATS record as road underdogs under coach Skip Holtz. UNC is 8-21 ATS in home games in September games since 1992. East Carolina is 9-1 ATS in road games after a game with a turnover margin of +3 or better since 1992. UNC QB T.J. Yates has thrown 4 interceptions already in the early going, so look for the Pirates to capitalize on turnovers this week, unlike they did last Saturday against WVU. Cash in with East Carolina as the underdog.
