Big week.  We need to bounce back after the Virginia Tech game.

Pirates are catching 10.5 on the road at this point. 

Let's get the money.

You don't get very many easy ones...although I suspect that the line in this weeks game was directly impacted by ECU's 1st and 2nd half performance in Blacksburg.  It's the way that ECU lost that shrank the line for this weeks game.  

At ECU +10, Vegas is showing ECU more respect than they had for the Pirates going into VT 2 weekends ago.  I'm fully convinced that they know they had it wrong and got lucky.  Luck is part of winning and losing, but not part of making point spreads.

What's up Lu? Tough break against VTech. I laid off that game becasue that line had looked very fishy to me and I don't tail blindly. I looked at it and thougt differently from you but I couldn't go against you. That is how much I respect your hard work and pick. I started to jump on it but I said no to myself.

Hey, it is another week and another game.

I am going to take a stab at it and say NC-10.5. Too many changes against a team who has been w/o the players that the media and public keeps blaming Carolina's woes on. But Carolina just keeps on with the keeping on. Carolina has jellled with the players they have been playing with over the last 4 weeks.

I think ECU will try to hard and make mental mistakes and Carolina's NFL ready players will capitalize on.

If you agree I am on it. If you say otherwise I will leave it alone.

Much Respect,

A Da Barber

Well thank you.  I'd hate to think that you respect for me cost you a winner.  UNC did win the game, but if we look closer...why were they able to win?  

Rutgers QB was injured before the game started, re-injured during the 1st half, and played sparingly the rest of the game.  

"Savage’s uneven play continued against North Carolina as he completed 16 of 29 passes for 150 yards, no touchdowns and two costly interceptions. He was sacked four times. Both of his interceptions killed scoring opportunities, including the final one on the Tar Heels’ 6-yard line with 2:42 left to play and Rutgers driving for a touchdown.

“There were about five or six opportunities in that game (to win),” Schiano said. “If we can convert any of them, it’s a different situation.”

Also, it should be noted that Savage is brutal at distributing the football.  He locked in on Sanu 16 out of his 26 pass attempts.  The UNC defense will have a much more difficult assignment on Saturday.  

That said, UNC will bring the pain with NFL talent at linebacker.  They've got a stronger defensive line than VT has and they will undoubtedly follow VT's second half game plan.  That consisted of a blitz filled attack.  ECU coaches said today that over the bye week and all this week they have and will focus on blitz pick up with their running backs.  

ECU OC Riley better have something to counter that mess this week.  If he had last week, ECU would be sitting here at 3-0 in my opinion, knocking on the door of the top 25.

One thing I'm noticing is that Tyrod Taylor was able to escape the pocket when it was collapsing last week and use his legs.  ECU pressured him often, but his athleticism made the Pirates pay.  TJ Yates doesn't have that luxury...he does have a better O-Line than the Hokies though.

I agree with Coach McNeill, T.J. Yates does remind me of Phillip Rivers but with a heck of alot more mobility.

Thanks for sharing Lu

RU lost that game because Savage sat out the whole 3rd QT. RU's only offense after that, was the Wildcat, as I said it would be. Davis had time @ Hf to adjust to the Wildcat and was ready for it.

Nc had 2 TD's, one of which Carter pretty much gave them. The real ?, was that RU's defense, or the offense. They had no running game in the 1st HF.

Still waiting to hear on Sturvidant, White and a couple others who have some injuries

I'm leaning that way, D_Unit.  UNC-CH hasn't faced an offense that passes it the way the Pirates are going to on Saturday.  They've also fumbled more times than I can count.  I think they've got 10 fumbles through 3 games.  They simply can't keep the ball off the grass.

I think this Pirate offense will make minced meat out of the inexperienced Tarheel secondary.  

That said, I don't always take the Pirates.  I've taken them to cover 3 times this year and was correct twice.  I feel like I got robbed on the VT cover!  :)  ....and after that VT shutout against a BC team that several people thought would knock off the Hokies, I'm leaning even harder on the Pirates to bring down the scoreboard at Kenan.  The secondary for VT is leaps and bounds better than this UNC squads.  If Riley worked even a little bit on blitz pick-up and offensive options to counter that attacking defense, it's going to be tough for UNC to keep up.
