Pitt will be the underdogs on the road Saturday night.
Pitt opened this week as a three point underdog to Iowa. The line has since blossomed to 5.5, and some are even saying it is up to six points. However you look at it, most expect Iowa to be able to fend off Pitt on their home turf, and I think that is a reasonable projection from the odds makers.
Iowa is 2-0 to start the year, but has been only a little more impressive than Pitt has. The Hawkeyes went on the road and defeated their in-state rivals, Iowa State by a score of 31-17.
