Houston at East Carolina: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Houston 81, East Carolina 59
Money line (ML)
Houston (-3000) will cost you $30 for every $1 in winnings. It’s not worth the risk in the event a miracle happens. You know better. AVOID.
Against the spread (ATS)
HOUSTON -16.5 (-110) has had no problems ticking off covers as a double-digit favorite. In fact, they’re 5-0 ATS across the past five such situations. The Cougars don’t roll up a ton of points, as they’re only averaging a mediocre 74.1 PPG. But UH ranks No. 1 in the country in scoring defense, allowing just 56.0 PPG, No. 1 in defensive field-goal percentage at 36.2 and No. 2 against the 3-pointer allowing just 24.8 percent success from behind the arc. That doesn’t bode well for an East Carolina +16.5 (-110) side that struggles to score the basketball.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 129.5 (-110) might be my favorite play on the board for the entire college hoops slate Wednesday. Yes, Houston doesn’t score a lot of points, but they’re good for at least 80 in this one. Even if the Pirates score 15 below their season average of 67.8 PPG, this game cashes an Over ticket rather easily.
