I don’t think they lose the game, but I don’t see them covering this many points either. Pitt by 7. |
Even on the road, Pitt is one of those teams that just comes out FIRING! For that reason, I'm pounding Pitt in the first half. This is Wannstadt's first game back in FL since he was fired from the 'Phins, and I know he'll be around friends and family. There are an awful lot of players playing for Pitt that are also from Florida, and for that reason, I also like Pitt in the first half. This is one of those games where either Pitt will cover very well, or I'll get a backdoor cover thrown at me from the home 'dog very late once Pitt takes their starters out to rest for Rutgers next week. For that reason, I'll gladly play Pitt in the first half, and take my ball and go home.
The Citrus Bowl never gets many that show up to the game for the home team anyway. Thank goodness for these midweek games so we can get a true feel for the teams! Did you see the horrible tackling by CFL against Marshall? Best of luck, but Pitt looks strong in this one.
