The line in our paper states Irish by 4.5 tomorrow. Not really sure where that came from except we maybe get 5 points for home field advantage. If this game was last week (before we won and Pitt lost), I am guessing the line is Pitt by 7 or 9. A wild card factor is the status of Pitt QB who had a concussion last week. I am guessing he will not play.
So my brain is telling me this is a "pick 'em" game because Pitt will come out ready after getting spanked last week and we are due for a bit of a letdown now that we once again do not play a ranked team. I felt pretty good about this matchup a few days ago but as the game has approached my confidence has dimmed.
The heck with rational predictions. I think this is a game where the Irish finally get to prove something against a team with a winning record. A victory pushes us into the top 25 and will solidify the Bowl buzz and I think the boys know it and will kick it up a notch. The offense is clicking and if we stop the Pitt running game we should be in business.
Final Score: Irish 28, Pitt 14 (no field goals Colonel!)
Go Irish!
