Pitt heads into this weekend’s matchup with Virginia Tech in foreign territory to some degree. No, the Panthers aren’t playing on the road. But things are a little different as Pitt actually finds itself as the favorite this weekend.
The Panthers opened at four-point favorites and while that line has come down a little, most still have the Panthers favored by about 2 1⁄2 to 3 points. For what it’s worth, Pitt will be playing the game at home and that’s generally seen as worth about three points. On the road, it’d be closer to a pick ‘em.
