what to know

The Norfolk State Spartans will open their season against the East Carolina Pirates. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 PM on Saturday at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.

Norfolk State can’t be too happy about their upcoming road matchup against East Carolina, considering what happened when they started their season on the road on Saturday. Norfolk State and Florida A&M were almost perfectly matched, but Norfolk State suffered a painful 24-23 loss. The Spartans have struggled against the Rattlers recently, as their game on Saturday was their third consecutive loss.

Norfolk State’s loss brings their record to 0-1. For East Carolina, they have a clean slate. They will look to improve on their 2-10 record last year.

Looking ahead, East Carolina is probably looking ahead this time around as they have a 31.5 advantage against the spread. Last season, they finished with a 5-7 record against the spread.

While East Carolina may be expected to win, their 1-2 record as a favorite last season means it’s still up to anyone. A bettor who placed a $100 bet on them losing each of the 12 games they played last year would have made a profit of $400.70. Norfolk State, on the other hand, was 2-5 as an underdog last season.
