East Carolina is the stronger program on paper, but laying nearly 25 points with a team returning just four players is a big ask. The Pirates have added 10 newcomers, while Charleston Southern is also rebuilding with 13 new faces and a new head coach. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the Buccaneers, their size inside and the projected 74-64 scoreline suggest this spread is inflated. Last season's 91-62 meeting favors ECU, but both rosters look significantly different this time around. I'm not calling for an upset, just expecting Charleston Southern to keep the margin manageable and stay inside the number.
