East Carolina vs Liberty Prediction, Preview, & Odds – 9/21/2024

The East Carolina Pirates will take on the Liberty Flames on September 21, 2024, with the Pirates coming in as six-point underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Currently, the betting action is split evenly between the two teams, with the total set at 54 points. So far, 36% of bets are leaning towards the under, while 64% are favoring the over. This matchup is sure to be a competitive one, with both teams looking to secure a victory. Here, we break down this East Carolina vs Liberty game between non-conference opponents.

East Carolina Hoping to Recover From First Loss

The East Carolina Pirates are 2-1 to start this season, though they lost for the first time in their last outing against the Appalachian State Mountaineers. In that 21-19 loss at home, the Pirates got out to a 16-0 lead, but they gave up 505 yards of offense to App State and couldn't hold onto their lead. This week, the defense of the Pirates will have to be better if they want to avoid a second consecutive loss that would erase all of the good things they did in the first two weeks of their season.

Liberty Looks to Stay Undefeated

Liberty comes into this weekend's college football action with a 3-0 record. They already have two wins in Conference USA play, having beat UTEP and New Mexico State along with Campbell out of the FCS. This week, the Flames could be up against the toughest opponent they have seen so far this season. But with Liberty scoring 28 or more points in all three of their games to begin the year, there is little reason to doubt their offense ahead of this non-conference matchup.

East Carolina vs Liberty Best Bet

Going into this East Carolina vs Liberty matchup, the Flames are favored by less than a touchdown. We will lay the points with the Flames as a result, as we see them winning by seven points or more on their home field in this one. Look for the offense of Liberty to make the difference as they should be able to create separation against an East Carolina team that struggled to contain App State at all last week.
