Birmingham Bowl Coastal Carolina vs East Carolina Prediction and Odds 2022

Our Birmingham Bowl prediction is from The Duel's official Costal Carolina vs East Carolina betting preview.

Coastal Carolina's latest two losses stem from the fact the defense surrendered 605 total passing yards in defeat. Unfortunately, there isn't a chance for any relief at the Birmingham Bowl as East Carolina has averaged a whopping 287.3 passing yards in 2022 (No. 15), including a 314-yard effort in its last outing.

The Pirates also have an advantage since they at least won their last game, whereas the Chanticleers haven't tasted victory since Nov. 12. With East Carolina also owning the slightly better defense and being used to playing tougher opponents as an AAC program, I see the Pirates being victorious at the end of the month.
