Pittsburgh at Villanova

This game reminds me of the Syracuse game vs. 'Nova on the 12th in which Villanova was laying five and got hammered at home, losing by 15 points. Pittsburgh is better than 'Cuse and could do the same today. Pitt can flat out play defense and plays well against good teams. The Panthers are 7-1 ATS in road games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 80%) over the last 3 seasons. Favorites in a game involving two excellent defensive teams (<63 PPG) coming off 2 straight wins by 10 points or more are 21-45 (32%) ATS since 1997. One star on Pitt to cover.
