Accrington now stand 11 points clear at the top of the Conference after Exeter failed to crack the live TV jinx.
Accrington swept past second placed Exeter 3-1, with a double from Gary Roberts sandwiching a Romuald Boco goal. Jake Edwards got a consolation goal for Exeter.
Despite Exeter's fears of a depleted crowd, the gate of 4,624 was their fourth highest of the season and their largest since Boxing Day.
The Bulls could go third if they can win Tuesday's match, but could go second if they beat Cambridge by four or more goals.
