The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at BetUS.com currently list East Carolina -10.5 point favorites to Houston heading into this matchup Houston hasn't played a defense like the Pirates yet. The front 4 will give Keenum problems all day.  Houston can put up a lot of points. But the Pirates can put this one away by keeping Keenum on his backside and controlling the clock with a solid ground day.
The Pirates (3-1) took their first loss of the season last week to North Carolina State, 30-14. The Pirates now know the BCS-busting hopes are all but over. ECU proved to us last week they're not as good as everyone thought they were. ECU did beat two ranked teams and that was fine then, they lost to the worst team in one of the worst conferences. They had a first-and-goal with about 10 minutes left and advanced to the 1 but failed to score. The series ended with Jonathan Williams being stuffed for a 4-yard loss from the 1. "The decision to go for the touchdown there was all mine," coach Skip Holtz said. "We had a missed assignment and one of their guys got in the backfield. Give N.C. State a lot of credit. They had to make some big plays to stop us, and they did." College Football Odds Week 5: You can say that ESU beat ranked teams to start the year off, you can also say Va. Tech and WVU were both ranked and now we all see they were very overrated. ECU will have their three or four loses at the end of the season and all that BCS talk will be long gone. Cougars are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Cougars good chance to take this one the distance.
