Authored by College Football Expert Picks against the spread analyst Charlie McDougall and produced by Charliessports for their Football game on Thursday October 23, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST.
The (1-5) Connecticut Huskies of the American Athletic Conference will take on the (5-1) East Carolina Pirates also of the American Athletic Conference in 2014 NCAA Football action. The game will be played at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville, North Carolina. This sports handicapper believes Connecticut Huskies football program has taken a couple of steps back in the past 3 season’s due to instability at the head coaching position. The East Carolina Pirate Football program is on the rise and the Pirates gave broken into the top 25 after huge wins over quality NCAA Football programs. The Betting Line has Connecticut as a 28 point road underdog Against The Spread and the total is posted at 55′ points for Thursday’s Football game.
The 2014-15 Connecticut Huskies lost at Tulane of the American Athletic Conference 12-3 on October 11 in their last NCAA Football game. Connecticut is 0-6 Against The Spread their 6 Football games this season, going over the total 1 time and staying under 5 times. Connecticut is only one of a few College Football programs without an ATS cover in the 2014-15 season. Connecticut was picked to finish last in the American Athletic Conference and that is where they are now, at the bottom of the Conference standings. The team returned 7 players on offense and still can’t move the football. The Connecticut Huskies will be led on offense by Senior quarterback Chandler Whitmer for their 2014 College Football Betting Pick game at East Carolina. It has been 14 years of playing in the 1A division of College Football and the Connecticut Football program is right back to where it started. The program made it to the Fiesta Bowl a couple of years ago, but other than that the football team has been mediocre. The talent base is there, they just need to go out and recruit to get the College Football program back on track.
The 2014-15 East Carolina Pirates won at South Florida 28-17 back on October 11th. East Carolina is 4-2 Against The Spread their 6 College Football games this season, going over the total 3 times, staying under 3 times. The over has come in the last 6 times East Carolina has played at home. The only blemish on the Pirates record is a 33-23 early season loss at South Carolina, but even in the loss the team was competitive. After the loss at South Carolina the Pirates went on to beat North Carolina at home and went on the road to win at Virginia Tech in consecutive weeks. East Carolina will be led on offense by Senior quarterback Shane Carden for their NCAA Football Weekly Picks game vs. Connecticut. East Carolina is one of the surprise teams in College Football this season. They were 10-3 last season with a Bowl win over Ohio University and it looks like they will win at least 11 Football games this season. The key to a Pirate win vs. Connecticut is to move the football on offense with their American Athletic Conference Player of the year candidate at quarterback.
