Well, Phil Steele is picking SU...

Noon ET, ESPN2

Pitt has joined the rankings, and the Panthers have a lot of people patting them on the back. They deserve to be here as their only loss is to unbeaten Iowa, and that was by three points on the road. This is actually their fifth road game in seven weeks, and they have a Thursday night showdown with North Carolina on deck for the top spot in the Coastal Division, followed by Notre Dame. They just faced Georgia Tech's option offense. Pitt is averaging just 314 yards per game and 24 points per game on the road.

Syracuse is in a must-win situation here to keep its bowl hopes alive. The Orange have three losses and have Florida State, Clemson and Louisville in their next three games. Syracuse is 3-1 at home this year, and its only loss was to LSU, a game in which the Orange had a 21-17 edge in first downs. They are holding foes to just 18.8 points per game in regulation at home. I will call for the outright upset here.

ATS pick: Syracuse
Score: Syracuse 21, Pitt 20

I don't know what that is. And I'm not sure I want to know. But you've earned yourself a like, sir.

Thats me on the right. Its how I dance when I get excited. And Phil's take gets me excited.

I'm thinking Soul Train circa 1973

 

[jekelish]

I mean, I know it's Soul Train. I'm not totally clueless. But...it was a baffling dance. If you guys think otherwise, well, I question your sanity.

Let's stay on target here, fellas.

From his lips to gods ears, I wish I was as confident as he was.

That average for SU is skewed by URI. In FBS games we are scoring 26 and giving up 25 in regulation. Since Pitt is only averaging 24 on the road I think that is a great guess for their point total. Hopefully we can score more than that.

With how conservative and defensive minded these two coaches are, I wouldn't be shocked with defensive scores and more OT

That will really screw Millhouse up if we go into another OT or 2 and had some defensive scores. He would never get any work done next week with all the stats he'll have to toil through.
