Virginia at Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh took advantage of a somewhat weak schedule to win its first seven games, but the Panthers ran into SMU and lost 48-25 while not coming close to covering the 7-point spread as an underdog. The Mustangs had a 31-3 lead at halftime and then cruised while piling up 467 yards of offense. Virginia will look to snap a three-game skid after having last week off and the Cavaliers are 10-1 ATS with rest against a team off a loss. They actually are 4-1 ATS their past five games although the Cavaliers do come off a 41-14 defeat against North Carolina on Oct. 26. Anthony Colandrea and Tony Muskett combined for 24 of 41 for 281 yards with a TD, but Colandrea was intercepted twice and sacked nine times. The offensive line has to be better in this matchup. Three of Pittsburgh's wins this year have been by four or fewer points. Take Virginia.
