Top college football expert predictions for Dec. 27, 2022One of Sallee’s top college football picks for bowl action on Tuesday: He’s backing East Carolina (-7) to cover the spread against Coastal Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl at 6:45 p.m. ET.The Pirates feature a prolific passing attack, led by quarterback Holton Ahlers. For the season, Ahlers has racked up 3,408 passing yards, which ranks 15th in the nation, and 23 touchdowns. He’s thrown for at least 280 yards in six of his last eight games, which includes a 314 yard and three touchdown performance against Temple in the season finale. As a team, the Pirates are completing 66.5% of their pass attempts, which ranks 18th in the nation. ECU is also one of the most disciplined teams in the country, having accumulated just 45 penalties in 12 games, the third-fewest in college football. Coastal Carolina, meanwhile, is giving up 30.08 points per game on average, which ranks 101st in the country. Sallee believes East Carolina’s aerial attack will have success against a Coastal Carolina defense that has struggled to slow down opposing offenses this season.
