Nationally Televised Big Winner Goes to…

In tonight’s nationally televised showdown, I am making a small play on the Pittsburgh Panthers at (+4). There are a lot of trends that most of you are probably going to go by, but i don’t like too many of them. I like the Panthers tonight at home in their first HOME test of the season. Pitt played tough on the road at Utah but came up just shy of a victory. Pitt’s running game has not been where they want it to be so far this season. I’m looking for a big game tonight out of the nation’s leading rusher from ’09, Dion Lewis. Lewis has been held to only 102 yards on 35 carries thus far, this season. Dion Lewis will be the X-factor in tonight’s game if they want to come away with a win. The Panthers will come out with fire and intensity at home and look to make a statement on national television.

Here are some trends that should give you a little more incentive:

Pitt is 7-3 in their last 10 home games ATS

Miami is 3-13 in their last 16 ATS off of a bye week

Pitt is a HOME DOG (Vegas Martin)

Like I said, don’t get too caught up in these trends. Read the article and take Pitt for a small winner tonight.

Final: Pittsburgh 27-21 over Miami
