Coaching and quarterback changes served East Carolina well
East Carolina’s season looked to be spiraling out of control after a 3-4 start. The poor start prompted the team to fire then-head coach Mike Houston, replacing him with defensive coordinator Blake Harrell.
Under Harrell, the team won each of its first four games, before losing the regular season finale to Navy.
The Pirates also benefited from a quarterback change, as Katin Houser’s first start came in the loss to Army, the last game that Mike Houston coached.
After that, the Pirates rattled off four consecutive wins (against Temple, Florida Atlantic, Tulsa, and North Texas) in which it averaged more than 500 yards of total offense.
NC State’s new look defense?
NC State will have a new defensive play-caller for the Military Bowl, after former defensive coordinator Tony Gibson left for the head coaching job at Marshall.
The Wolfpack employ a unique 3-3-5 defense that was left vulnerable to the run at times. NC State barely held on to rank in the top half of the ACC with 143.8 rushing yards allowed, but that run-stopping unit may not be as formidable if stud defensive end Davin Vann opts out.
East Carolina has had success against NC State
East Carolina gets up to play its in-state rival, as it has won 10 of the last 19 head-to-head meetings with NC State. In the most recent matchup in 2022, NC State barely escaped Greenville with a one-point 21-20 victory in a game it was a 12.5-point favorite.

NC State first drive result: any other⭐⭐
Best odds: +550 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 15.38%
New customers only. Deposit min. $5. Place first bet of $5+ and win $250 in Bonus Bets (within 72 hours).
FanDuel offers a four-way betting line for NC State’s first possession with the following options: offensive touchdown (+145), punt (+155), field goal attempt (+500), or any other (+550).
The Wolfpack employed a shaky offensive line all season, ranking outside the top 120 in tackles for loss allowed.
An East Carolina defense that ranks 11th in tackles for loss and 23rd in turnovers gained will be licking its chops to face the turnover-prone Wolfpack.
I will back the Over on any CJ Bailey interception odds when they become available, as he has thrown at least one pick in three consecutive games (and five total in that span).
Without those player props available, this wager is worth a flier at +550 odds that the Wolfpack turn the ball over on their first possession. A $10 winning wager would net $55 in profits.
