Why Bet On The Pittsburgh Panthers?

Pittsburgh beat Syracuse 44-37 in overtime in a wild shootout last weekend to cash in as a 3.5-point home underdog after getting blown out of the water in each of their previous two games against Central Florida and North Carolina. Running back Qadree Ollison rushed for 192 yards and one score while fellow back Darrin Hall rushed for 107 yards and two scores to lead the Orange to victory. Quarterback Kenny Pickett passed for a modest 137 yards with one TD pass and one interception. “We asked for the game to be on our backs,” Ollison said. “Just put it on us. Put it on the backs. Put it on the offensive line. Put it on the seniors really. I think that’s what we did.”Team Statistics
