Still very bummed about last week, sports fans. And the lingering doldrums (plus our anemic defensive front seven) prevent me from psyching myself into calling for a victory today. I predicted this game as a loss back in September, mainly because I figured Pitt would be at least decent and the game is on the road. Pitt's better than decent, although I don't think anyone really know how good they are, because the best team they've beaten is Rutgers. And they lost to NC State, a team with a losing record. They beat our one common opponent, Navy, by 13. So in some ways, this game will be their biggest test so far.
But Pitt is a balanced team, so we can't over play the run or pass. Not that that worked for us last week anyway. And they score almost 35 points per game, while giving up only about 15. So we have our work cut out for us, for sure.
If we can get over our Red Zone-itis, we should be able to score. But I have no faith we'll be able to stop the Panther offense.
So, my thinking is high scoring. The over/under is 58 1/2. Take the over. Pitt is favored by 7. Take the Panthers and give the points.
Panthers 38, IRISH 27
GO IRISH!!! BEAT PANTHERS!!!!
