Louisville vs. Pittsburgh, 2PM ET (View Matchup)
Pittsburgh is 13-3 against the spread in their last 16 games as a road under dog and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a win. Louisville is just 5-16-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a cover. My pick for this game goes with Pittsburgh on the road. The Panthers already have some big wins on the road and should be game to beat a lesser-talented Louisville squad.
