Kentucky Wildcats vs East Carolina Pirates
5:00 PM ET, January 2, 2009
Liberty Bowl , Memphis , TN
ESPN, ESPN 360
Spread:  East Carolina -2.5
Total:  42

My Pick:  Who would have thought that East Carolina had a football team to be excited about? At 9-3 and newly crowned Conference USA Champs, the Pirates are riding a 3 game win streak and playing consistent football.  The Pirates are the kind of team that doesn’t have one star on offense, they have been successful as a team and also their defense bails them out all the time and saves the game when the offense can’t get it together.  Kentucky at 6-6 is surprised to have even gotten in as they are now on a 3 game losing streak and have not been able to find any rythem to their game lately on either side of the ball.  I think this is a soft line, despite neither team being full of fireworks I think less than field goal is nuts and you have to jump on East Carolina and give the points now.  It will move up.
