Pittsburgh is off a wild game against Duke that featured 113 total points with the Panthers prevailing 58-55. The Panthers have been able to generate offense, but you have to wonder about the defense. The good news is that Virginia lacks offense, generating just 4.9 yards per pass attempt, with six INTs in just 109 pass attempts. The Cavaliers' offense has generated 20 points or less in eight of their last 10 games vs. a BCS Conference opponent. That simply is not good enough, especially when the offense that isn't scoring and turning the ball over far too often. Consequently, the Cavs have had issues beating winning teams where they are a lackluster 8-20 ATS in their last 28 when facing them. Since Mike London took over, this team is 5-13 ATS vs. winning teams and 7-22 ATS. Virginia is also 0-6 ATS when following a win in their last six. The Panthers have come back strong after allowing 40 points or more, as they are 6-0 ATS in their last six after having done so. Play Pittsburgh in this one.
