16 Oct
Summary
- East Carolina Pirates 3-3 on season, 4-1-1 Against the Spread
- Tulsa Golden Hurricane struggling on offense, ranked 123rd in points per game
- East Carolina defense expected to contain Tulsa's offense
As of October 17th, 2025, the East Carolina Pirates are set to host the Tulsa Golden Hurricane in a college football matchup that is expected to heavily favor the home team. The Pirates, who currently hold a 3-3 record on the season, have been a strong performer against the spread, boasting a 4-1-1 record.
In their most recent outing, the Pirates put up a valiant effort against Tulane, leading 16-12 going into the fourth quarter before ultimately falling 26-19. However, the bookies believe East Carolina will have no trouble getting back on track against the struggling Tulsa squad.
The Golden Hurricane, under the guidance of new head coach Tre Lamb, are in the midst of a transitional year and have faced significant challenges on the offensive side of the ball. Tulsa ranks a dismal 123rd in points per game, 117th in yards per play, and 126th in red zone scoring percentage, according to the data.
With the East Carolina defense expected to contain the Tulsa offense, there is a strong possibility that the Pirates will hold the Golden Hurricane to single-digit scoring, paving the way for a comfortable cover of the 17.5-point spread.
