Pittsburgh vs Clemson Prediction

The Pittsburgh Panthers are probably the more talented team and find scoring a lot easier, but I’m grabbing the bucket with Clemson on the road. Clemson has a defense that travels and has already led the way to two road victories. Pitt has failed to cover four of its last five games, and we just saw the Panthers lose outright in the favorite role against Louisville and Florida State. Clemson has also won 10 straight games against Pitt and is 9-0-1 ATS in those games. I’ll grab the bucket with Clemson.
