negatives and postives from both sides..not playing the game myself but something to think about...
...a line that is inflated as a result of a short-term overreaction to both teams.
Both clubs are 3-2, and a win here is critical to pitt chances of becoming bowl eligible, as both face brutal schedules the rest of the way.
Virginia is undefeated against the spread, in large part because not much was expected from a team that earned just two wins last season, and the Cavaliers were huge underdogs against UCLA, BYU and Louisville.
Pitt appeared headed to its fourth straight win to start the season two weeks ago, before blowing a 10-point halftime lead and losing to Iowa. The Panthers let a hangover from that defeat result in a home loss to Akron last week as a three-touchdown favorite.
