Bold Predictions For East Carolina vs. Florida In Birmingham Bowl

Florida Football — Well, things didn't go according to plan for the Florida Gators in 2014. After all, they only won six games and Will Muschamp is no longer the head coach. Regardless, they made a bowl game (unlike last year), and will be going up against the East Carolina Pirates.

Ready for some bold predictions?

5. Birmingham Bowl is a Shootout

East Carolina Football — Florida didn't necessarily have the best offense in the nation this year. However, in this game, the Gators will be going up against East Carolina, who is allowing 25.7 PPG, and is no Alabama or Florida State. Florida is only giving up 21.2 PPG on average, but the Pirates did put up 37.2 points per game. Regardless, I am predicting some points in this one.

East Carolina Football — Shane Carden has 4,309 yards on the year. He is no stranger to throwing for 400 yards in a game, and will achieve that feat once again in this contest.

Florida Football — Florida is averaging 189.5 rushing yards per game. Although that is nowhere near being the best in the sport, the Gators' running game has to go wild if they have any chance of winning this one. After all, it's not like Florida is a good passing team, or even close to being one.

2. Gators Have No Passing TDs

Florida Football — Going off of Florida not being a good passing team, it won't have one passing TD in this one. The Gators have 16 passing touchdowns on the season, seven of them coming from Treon Harris.

1. ECU Wins On Last Possession of Game

East Carolina Football — Who knows, this contest could be a blowout. I'm going with it being a close one until the last possession, when ECU will score and win the game.
