LuDawg's ECU vs Houston Game

Sharps either bet right when the line comes out or just before the game. That's why they are "sharp." You also know sharps make most of their money on middles don't you? There is a good chance they hit Houston when they first came out and now they are sitting back waiting for the public to drive the line up and they will pound ECU just before gametime, trying to middle it. You aren't following sharp money, you are following public money. Good luck Ludawg.

That is completely contradicting yourself.

They did not shut down Houston last season as they gave up 691 yards at home. If it matters none about year to year then shutting down last’s years Tulsa team means nothing as well.

I wish the weathermen were as good at the weather forecast as some of you are at Handicapping I am leaning to the Under also..I am going to look at that forecast now and if its wet and cold I do believe it favores ECU and the Under

All right, I am ECU's second biggest fan since LuDawg is their biggest...I am a season ticket holder and have watched every game....My first thought on this game was to take Houston based on their potent aerial attack...However, after watching the weather situation closely, I am taking ECU hopefully getting +3.  The weather factor will play right into ECU's game plan as they will establish the run on this porous run defense of Houston.  They will eat up time of possesion with RB Dominique Lindsey.  Patrick Pinkney (i personally know PP by the way..), 6th year qb has been playing some of his best football the last 5 games..He will also throw just enough to keep a good balance.  But the difference will be ECU's defensive line.  This line is just as big and just as quick off of the ball as some SEC teams. 

Some in this post have asked about the O/U.  I will be on the Under as well.  ECU will run, run, and run some more.  The wet ball will definitely affect Houston more than ECU.  90% chance of rain up to a couple of inches at gametime with possible wintery mix...(as heard by local reliable Greenville weatherman 2night) has me confident with the ECU play and Under.

Gold Sheet prediction:

EAST CAROLINA 33 - Houston 30—Handicapping this game is very challenging, as Houston's offense is so dazzling it's easy to be blinded to almost everything else in the matchup.  The Cougars have been held to fewer than 30 points just once all season (and that was their 29-28 upset win over Big XII rep Texas Tech), and they've eclipsed 40 points sixteen times in the last two campaigns.
Jr. QB Case Keenum's passing stats (9994 YP, 82 TDP, only 17 ints. in just the last two years!) look more like something you'd see in a video game rather than what could possibly be achieved in actual football games.  KO power?  Just ask Houston's last two opponents, as the Cougars cold-cocked poor  Memphis & Rice
with a combined 103 points & 908 yards during the first half in a pair of lopsided victories.
Still, while we wouldn't be surprised if Houston is able to ride its juggernaut attack past East Carolina, there are plenty of reasons to believe the Pirates are capable of emerging with a win.  First, ECU's deep, veteran defense is no pushover and rates a substantial edge over the poor-tackling Cougar stop unit.
(Remember, the proud Pirates went on the road for last year's C-USA title game and pulled off a major upset by successfully defusing the ticking time-bomb that was Tulsa's top-ranked offense).  Also, ECU has a sixth-year senior at QB in
Patrick Pinkney (68%, 795 YP no ints. in last three games), who's found a good groove down the stretch after struggling early.  And Pinkney & the Pirates benefit from a productive rushing attack that could keep Keenum & Co. idling on the sidelines for substantial stretches.  Add in head coach Skip Holtz's solid 21-10 mark as an underdog since taking the helm at ECU (although he's just 1-3
in that role this season), and we'll go against prolific Houston (GULP!) in favor of the more well-rounded host Pirates.  CABLE TV—ESPN
