Pick

I’m sticking with Pitt in this one. I just don’t see Boston College being able to do enough to keep themselves in this game and while this is a decent-sized number with Pitt, we’ve seen the Panthers cover the number in similar situations before this season so backing the Panthers shouldn’t give anyone much pause coming into this game. The Panthers are the better team by a fair margin and I expect them to show why here. Give me Pitt laying the points.
