Pick
I’m sticking with Pitt here. I think the Panthers will be out to get the bad taste out of their mouths after that frustrating loss to Virginia Tech and while Georgia Tech’s stepped up in recent spots as a double-digit underdog, I just don’t know if they’ll have enough in the tank to do it again. The Panthers are far and away the better team in this game and I just think that they win this one comfortably to seal the cover.
