East Carolina vs. BYU Betting Preview - Three Things To Know 

1. Long Time, No See

The last time these two teams played one another was back in 2017, when East Carolina earned a 33-17 win over BYU. But head coach Kalani Sitake has done a great job of taking the Cougars to another level since then, despite what the record might say this season. It'll be interesting to see which of these programs gets this one, as this could serve as a statement win for the Pirates. It could also bury the Cougars, who will need to win out in order to play in a decent bowl game. 

2. How Will ECU Stop Jaren Hall?  

The Pirates have had a lot of trouble with their passing defense this year, as they are allowing 280.5 passing yards per game. ECU also hasn't seen a passer quite as good as BYU's Jaren Hall, and Hall is also capable of beating opponents with his legs. Whether or not the Pirates can limit the damage Hall does will decide how this game goes. 

3. The Pirates Have Some Trends In Their Favor

Over the last two seasons, East Carolina is 9-1 against the spread after playing a game at home. The Pirates have won those games by an average of 16.1 points per game. Also, BYU is 0-6 ATS when coming off a loss since the start of the 2020-21 season. That's not exactly a great sign for the Cougars heading into this one.
