Twenty years. That’s how long Colby Dant says it has been since UAB beat East Carolina, and it’s the whole reason he isn’t scared of the road number. East Carolina visits UAB on Thursday, October 15 at 4:30 PM PT / 7:30 PM ET in Birmingham, AL, and the Pirates were 4.5-point favorites with a total of 47.5 when the guys taped on October 13. The full slate is on the College Football Picks Week 7 episode.
East Carolina vs UAB Odds
East Carolina was a 4.5-point favorite with a total of 47.5 when the guys taped on October 13. On air the guys had UAB at +150 on the money line as the home dog.
Our Picks
- Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric): UAB +4.5
- Sean Green (@SeanTGreen): UAB +4.5
- Colby Dant (@thecolbyd): East Carolina -4.5
Colby went first and called this a great spot for his Pirates, arguing UAB is due and still won’t get it done. Lay the 4.5, he said, and don’t think twice.
Ryan told Sean not to listen. His fade is the kind the guys love in the NFL: East Carolina plays Memphis on a Thursday right after this game, so the Pirates could be looking ahead, and UAB is celebrating homecoming. If the stadium is ever going to fill up, it’s this week. Sean wondered aloud whether East Carolina, on a short week, is really road favorite material, and one of the guys pegged it as a 21-17 game.
Colby didn’t budge. He pointed out the Pirates have beaten Memphis 10 of 12 times, so that game isn’t a distraction, and that East Carolina won the last meeting with UAB 63-14. Ryan graded the pitch as middling and started eyeing a weekday home dog parlay with UAB in it.
