Pittsburgh is 5-1 against the spread in their last 6 games following a win and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against the Big East. West Virginia is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss. My pick for this game is with the Panthers on the road as they have a better team and essentially just need to win outright to cover. WVU has struggled this year and the Panthers seem to be the class of the conference.
