Against the Odds: Pitt favored against Virginia for Homecoming

Many of us expect Pitt to pull out a win against Virginia this week for Homecoming. It seems the oddsmakers have that feeling, too.

While the line isn't always indicative of who should win a game, Vegas has the installed the Panthers as 9 1/2-10 point favorites for Saturday. The line opened at 10 before falling a bit then increasing.

Pitt has a lot in its favor for this game. They are playing at home, should be in front of a big crowd for Homecoming, and are fresh off a nice road win against Virginia Tech. The Panthers face, too, what appears to be one of the weaker teams in the conference.
