Pitt heads into this weekend with a big game against Duke. As I wrote in the preview, if they want to keep their hopes alive for a bowl game, this one’s a pretty important contest.
But as has been pretty routine this year, the Panthers will likely enter the game as the underdog. The Panthers opened as a four-point underdog and while lines have come down a little from that to 2 1⁄2 on most sites, barring a drastic change, they will not come into this one favored.
I don’t have a major problem with the line but given that Pitt is getting the game at home, I think it’s much more like a Pick ‘Em.
