Pittsburgh vs. Louisville Prediction:
Take Pittsburgh to cover the 8.5 point spread on Saturday. These are two pretty even teams. The Panthers played well against Clemson, losing by 4 without their starting quarterback last week. Louisville has struggled defensively at times this season, including 38 points to a 3-7 Stanford squad last week. Now they return home, however they are 0-3 ATS this season following a loss. This is too many points. Take the Panthers to keep this one close.
Pittsburgh vs. Louisville Prediction: Pittsburgh +8.5
