Pittsburgh isn't very good and a victory against Rice last week doesn't change that. The Panthers rank among the bottom 30 teams in defense and their offense averaged 17.3 points against Penn State, Oklahoma State and Georgia Tech.

Syracuse has the weapons to take advantage with quarterback Eric Dungey and wide receiver Ervin Phillips, who is coming off a school-record 17-reception, 188-yard receiving game against North Carolina State.

The Orange are constantly underrated by the oddsmaker. They have covered their last three games beating the spread by a combined 38 points.
