Navy Midshipmen vs East Carolina Pirates Prediction, Odds & Picks

The Navy Midshipmen were undefeated, ranked and raced all over the world. The Middies put up huge offensive totals earlier in the season against the likes of Memphis, Temple, UAB and Charlotte, etc. Of course, 2 of those teams have since fired their coach and things aren’t looking as impressive as they once seemed. . Notre Dame brought Navy back to reality with a 51-14 victory on Oct. 26, and the Middies haven’t been the same since. They have dropped 3 of their last 4 outings and scored 14 or fewer points in those 3 setbacks. It’s also just 1-3 ATS over four games, and the under has conceded 3 in a row – although I certainly don’t suggest that against the East Carolina Pirates.

The Pirates are another team that changed coaches midway through, but it’s working for them. After the Oct. 19 loss to Army, they benched Mike Houston — and fired him on the heels of a 3-4 start. They handed the reins to defensive coordinator Blake Harrell and who knew DC knew about offense?!?! It also helps that the schedule has included non-bowl teams Temple, FAU, Tulsa and North Texas, but Harrell’s teams have scored 38 or more points in every game – going 4-1 ATS in the past 5 outings. The defense still has some holes, allowing 28 or more points in 3 of the last 4, but ECU has just scored more. It should be able to sink Navy at Rowdy-Dowdy in a thrilling game.
