Will Harris every week for ESPNinsider chooses games that the computers and stats indicate upsets and/or unexpected wins. Importantly, he is well over 50-50 on his picks. Every week during the season, Will Harris will check with the computers (using Insider'sPickCenter) and wiseguys to evaluate the upset possibilities in college football's most compelling games and give his picks for who will come out on top.
He takes 'Cuse by a whopping 17 points based on stats...(I would be happy with a 3 point win). Here is a brief game assessment from his article:
Syracuse is favored by 1 point.
TeamRankings win odds for Pittsburgh: 49 percent
The Orange have struggled against the Panthers over the years, dropping nine of 10 in this long-played, but rarely vitriolic, series.
Pitt is 2-2 after a disastrous start, but a winning season is probably out of reach for an inconsistent team and new staff learning on the job.
Coach Doug Marrone called himself out for his team's poor start, and his Orange have circled the wagons and are ready to make a stand. The offense has punch with quarterback Ryan Nassib and a good group of receivers, and it will get a big boost from the return of top lineman and emotional leader Justin Pugh.
The pick: Syracuse 38, Pittsburgh 21
