Ohio State vs Pitt Prediction

In this Ohio State vs Pitt Prediction, Ohio State is coming as -5.5 road favorites. Ohio State is the better team in this matchup, as they have been undefeated in their 6 games played this season, but they are being tested for the first time on the road. They are up against a Pitt squad that is just 1-3 in its last 4 games and has an inferior offense, scoring 20.4 points per game fewer. But both teams stand out defensively, as they allow just 133.9 points per game combined and as a result, they are 6-2 to the under in their last 8 games combined. I expect another low-scoring defensive-minded game, so take the under 146.5 points.
