GAME OF THE WEEK
SMU (6-5) at East Carolina (6-5) Nov. 26, 2:00 ET
Here’s The Deal … In an otherwise mediocre season for SMU, things seem to be falling place as the regular season comes to an end. After handling Marshall a week ago, 31-17, the Mustangs are bowl-eligible for a second straight season under June Jones and a win or a Tulsa loss from winning the West Division. It would be another positive stride for Jones, who’s been worth every dollar of his contract in Dallas. East Carolina’s hopes of joining SMU in the Conference USA title game disappeared with last week’s 62-38 loss at Rice. The Pirates have been entertaining for fans and viewers, but maddening for the coaching staff, which has been helpless as the team has slumped to three ugly losses in the last four games.
CFN Prediction: SMU 42 … East Carolina 30 … Line: SMU -1
