Game Pick: East Carolina's offense was a total surprise in week-1. This was a bunch that could not be stopped in its game with Tulsa, as the 51 points scored proves. Meanwhile, Memphis was toothless in its last game at Mississippi State. It will be interesting to see how the Tigers fare against C-USA competition. I like the Pirates -13.
