Spread Owls

Vegas says the Pirates will beat the Rice Owls by a mere five points. USA Today's Sagarin computer rating paints a worse picture again.

Saragin has ECU at No. 107 with a 61.45 rating. Rice is No. 97 with a 63.30. Because of home-field advvantage (worth 3.38), the Pirates figure to win a nail-biter by 1.53 points.

I think ECU should win by much more. If they don't, then I may not wait until Week 9 to call for a firing.

My Southern Miss prediction:

"MATT: ECU 17, Southern Miss 14 (2-2)
A huge win for the Pirates as they beat their age-old nemesis with a mixture of solid defense and a gutsy fake punt on 4th and 4 that led to a touchdown."

And to think, I was just 5 successful fake punts away from the final score.
