Rut (+6.5) over Pitt
A top 25 team getting close to a TD? Is Pitt that good? I have watched them play and they have looked good but they really haven't beaten a tough team. They got rolled by MSU, but that was back when MSU had a pulse. Pitt's defense has a lot of team speed and they looked sharp against CF, but that is central florida. The Knights beat a QB-less Navy team and beat them bad. This should be a good game, but the running game for Rutgers is not bad and the defense is also good. The QB is not very good but Teel did show signs of life last week tossing 2 TD passes last week. Remember this Pitt team only beat Cuse by 10 at Cuse. I am not saying Pitt is gonna get stomped but I think Rutgers has a very good rushing attack that will be up for this game. Both teams have a decent running game, Pitt has the better QB and I think Rutgers has the edge in the coaches department. This will be a hard fought game and I think spotting 6.5 to a ranked team even on the raod is a nice choice. I could see the knights winning this game but I believe this will be close. Not sure the WR's make the big play against the Rutgers defense. The special teams unit should be uo to holding Pitt. A big challege for both teams to get some notice in the division and it should be a dog fight.
