(NCAAF) Virginia vs. Pittsburgh,
Point Spread: 1.50 | -110.00 Virginia (Away)
Result: Loss
With all the talented WRs the Cavaliers have - plus the momentum of RB Jordan Ellis - Virginia is too hard to defend when they get moving the ball downfield in confident rhythm. Olamide Zaccheaus will certainly see more targets because of the sloppy coverage skills at DB for Pittsburgh. The passing game of Virginia this season, has been pretty solid across the board. QB Kurt Benkert has been completing 62% of his passes - which will be far too much for a slow footed defense like Pittsburgh. What is going to be a downfall for Pittsburgh - is their lousy ability to not be able finish off their opponents, where they have a potential lead. Pittsburgh needs to have guys on the field who won't fumble or turn the ball over - their guys have let the ball hit the ground a bit more than they want at 5 costly lost fumbles. Pittsburgh lacks the push to get the tough yards when forced to move the ball. Virginia's DTs will make them regret trying to go up the middle, I expect an ugly game. Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and should get the win and cover on the road here Saturday afternoon.
