This is not the most exciting game to come down the pike; but it could make for some entertaining betting. Here are a few bits of info...
Overall Team Offense
The Memphis Tigers are ranked 70 on offense, averaging 362.1 yards per game. The Tigers are averaging 142.6 yards rushing and 219.6 yards passing so far this season.
The East Carolina Pirates are ranked 92 on offense, averaging 329.9 yards per game. The Pirates are averaging 131.4 yards rushing and 198.4 yards passing so far this season.
Home and Away
The Memphis Tigers are 2-2 at home this season, 1-3 against conference opponents and 1-2 against non-conference opponents.
At home the Tigers are averaging 26.5 scoring, and holding teams to 26.5 points scored on defense. The East Carolina Pirates are 1-3 while on the road this season, 3-1 against conference opponents and 1-2 against non-conference opponents.
On the road, the Pirates are averaging 19.8 scoring, and holding teams to 27.8 points scored on defense.
With ECU back listed as questionable, I am taking my chances with the home team; especially after observing the public pounding on ECU
This is no highly ranked powerhouse we're talking about here, and they are typically a just plain bad road team. Despite their recent success against the Tigers, I don't believe we will see a one-sided affair tonight.
Weather may or may not be a factor, but I will lay off the total; although I would lean toward the over - looking at the averages listed above.
Play tonight: MEMPHIS +5.5 (or more by kickoff)
