Pittsburgh vs. Eastern Michigan

QUICK LANE BOWL - Pittsburgh had to settle for this Quick Lane Bowl at Ford Field in Detroit. When the Panthers defeated North Carolina last month, they had a nine-win season in their sights and a shot at the Orange Bowl. However, they went bust, losing their final two games to Virginia and Boston College by a 54-19 count. Panthers coach Pat Narduzzi has lost all three bowls in his four seasons at the helm, and the Panthers have failed to cover five of their last seven bowl games. Pitt QB Kenny Pickett (10 TDs, 9 INTs) is below-average, and they have only been a double-digit favorite one other time this season, beating Delaware (17-14) as 26-point chalk! Pitt is also 8-20 ATS against defenses that allow 425+ yards per game. Eastern Michigan is delighted to be in a bowl in their home state. This team has a fine QB in Mike Glass III (22 TDs, 10 INTs), and they have a win over a Big Ten team, a 34-31 victory against bowl-bound Illinois as a touchdown underdog. This is Eastern Michigan's third bowl in four years, and this coach is 18-9 ATS against winning teams. Play Eastern Michigan.
