Pitt is a -4.5 point favorite on Saturday for the 97th meeting with the Pennsylvania State University. It’s considerably down from March, when Pitt opened as a 9-point favorite. It’s not too surprising, March betting odds for September football games have to fluctuate some with the way the wagers are coming in for the game.
So Pitt is the favorite at home? Makes sense to me. Pitt is coming off a solid 8-5 season, they are at home, and they have a very veteran team that starts 13 seniors. Conversely, Penn State is a bit younger and they are breaking in a new quarterback.
