Against the Odds: Pitt favored against Wake Forest
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY SportsFor the second straight week, Pitt will head into a matchup as a favorite. The Panthers face Wake Forest on Saturday and, currently, are favored over the Demon Deacons by 5 1⁄2 to 6 points.
That line has actually come down a little since opening at 8 1⁄2 points in Pitt’s favor. I could see it closer to that opening line, to be honest.
That might sound somewhat surprising to Pitt fans who think it should be smaller. But oddsmakers are also grappling with the fact that Pitt is on a roll, crushed Virginia Tech by 30, and has the opportunity to win the Division.
