Against the Odds: Pitt heavy underdogs to Clemson

Pitt travels on the road to face potentially the best team in the country on Saturday in Clemson. It was no surprise that the Panthers would be underdogs - the question was, how big of an underdog would they be considered?

Vegas answered that question earlier this week and it's not real pretty. The Panthers opened at 19-point underdogs and that line has even grown a bit to 20 1/2 or 21 points.

The argument is there, clearly. Pitt just faced a not-as-good Miami team and lost by 23. Losing by three touchdowns against Clemson is surely possible and with the pass defense against a team that likes to, well, pass .
