Spread & Over/Under Predictions for WVU vs. Pitt

Can the Mountaineers cover the spread?

Each week, we will release an article on our thoughts on the spread and the over/under of West Virginia games. The star ratings next to the play describe the overall confidence in that particular play.

Star ratings:

1 Star - Not very confident

2 Star - A little confident

3 Star - Fairly confident

4 Star - Very confident

5 Star - Should be a lock to happen

Spread: Pitt -1

3-star play on West Virginia: The Mountaineers should have won this game a year ago, on the road, against a better Pitt team. With the revenge factor in mind and the Panthers losing a ton of talent from last year's group, I like West Virginia to win this game with what will be a rowdy crowd behind them. Pitt gave up over 200 yards on the ground to Cincinnati last week. I expect a similar output from CJ Donaldson and Co.

Over/Under: 50.5

2-star play on the over: The over has cashed in four of Pitt's last six games and in six of West Virginia's last seven home games. There are some serious holes in both of these defenses, so there will be opportunities for big plays all over the place. A similar feel to last year's 38-31 game, but not quite as high scoring.

My results:

ATS: 1-1 (50%)

O/U: 1-1 (50%)

Overall: 2-2 (50%)
