PITTSBURGH UNDER 7.5 wins
Pittsburgh one of the numerous programs in the average Big East who could either win the conference or battle Syracuse at the bottom. There’s a lot of doubt in the Big East with Rutgers, West Virginia, USF and Pittsburgh among those who could win it all. Upon first look in Pittsburgh you’ll see no LeSean McCoy who stabilized the backfield along with LaRod Stephens-Howling who has also departed. The Pittsburgh Panthers bring back 15 starters but are impaired by Dave Wannstedt who isn’t exactly a coaching mastermind. The schedule is also going to be difficult.
Sure Victories (4): 9/5 Youngstown State, 9/19 Navy, 10/10 UConn, 11/7 Syracuse
Automatic Defeats (2): 9/26 @ NC State, 10/16 @ Rutgers
Up in the Air (6):
9/12 @ Buffalo — The Bulls played the Panthers tough in Pittsburgh falling 27-16 to them and were only down by a single point going in the 4th frame. Pittsburgh lost to Bowling Green last year on their home turf and the Bulls have comparable talent. James Starks and Naaman Roosevelt will need to have a great game for the Bulls to come away with a win.
10/2 @ Louisville — The Panthers have lost seven of their last eight to Louisville stopping a seven game losing skid last season. The Cardinals return 13 starters and a compelling offense that will need time to get in rythym with new QB Justin Burke, the NC State transfer.
10/24 vs. USF — Matt Grothe and George Selvie lead the uneven Bulls. Last year Pittsburgh came through in Florida but the Bulls got the game in Pittsburgh two years ago. USF lives and dies by their strong defense and has shown they can win as a visitor beating up NC State last year.
11/14 vs. Notre Dame — The Irish will be much better this season and are 12-3 since 1988 against Pitt. Last year Pittsburgh won 36-33 in 4OT against the Irish in South Bend so want back will be on ND’s minds.
11/27 @ West Virginia — Revenge will be involved in this one as well. The Panthers have won two straight in this rivalry but Jarrett Brown and Jock Sanders lead an offense that can put up points if need be. The Mountaineers may also have the best secondary in the Big East.
12/5 vs. Cincinnati — Eight starters on offense are back plus maybe the top coach in the conference in Brian Kelly. The Bearcats could need this game for bowl eligibility. Cincy won last year’s contest.
Leans:
TCU UNDER 9 (+110) – Tricky road games to Virginia, Clemson, Air Force, Brigham Young and a sneaky trip to Wyoming could help the Under.
OKLAHOMA STATE OVER 9 (+110) – The Cowboys just have to take one game out of the group of Texas, @ Oklahoma and Georgia.
