Current Line:  Utah -3

In the lone Top 25 college game Thursday night, the Utah Utes will take on the Pittsburgh Panthers in Utah. Give the Panthers credit for scheduling this game, especially on the road. Pitt is generally a program that is willing to take on anyone, and this is a great showing for a BCS conference team and one that has already busted the BCS in the past. The Panthers are going to be riding the back of RB Dion Lewis all season long, and for good reason. Should he stay for all four years and keep healthy, Lewis will clearly rewrite all of the record books at Pittsburgh, which is saying something considering the fact that Tony Dorsett is an alumni. Lewis racked up 1,799 rushing yards and 18 total TDs last season, fumbling just twice in the process. QB Bill Stull is gone, but that doesn’t mean that the Panthers aren’t going to have a good passing attack. Hopes are high for Tino Sunseri in this game against a solid team on the road.  The Panthers don’t bring a lot of heat at the quarterback, but the front four gets tremendous pressure on a regular basis. The rushing with be there for the Utes with some nice backs returning but it will be ultimately up to Wynn, now a sophomore to make plays after he threw for 1,329 yarsd and eight scores in limited action last year.There’s too much pressure on Utah to pull this game off. The Panthers are one of the more underrated clubs in the Big East, and we tend to think that this is a very winnable game in what should be a hell of a kickoff to the college football season. Pitt’s defensive line makes the difference, as Lewis rushes for his 120+ yards and two scores to lead the Panthers to a narrow victory.  Prediction Pitt 30-27

Whittingham is 1-8 ATS (-7.8 Units) in the first two weeks of the season as the coach of UTAH. 
The average score was UTAH 25.8, OPPONENT 18.8

Play Pitt Panthers +3, HKC 3*

Who's excited! The season is officially under way. Last year's #1 statistical handicapper has an exciting season lined up for you. I will have a total 5***** play for FSU/Canes as my total Game of the year and have identified 2 potential Game of the years on sides in the SEC where you will be surprised at what I'm laying out for us. Anyways, last year we went 16-6 ATS, we finished the bowl season at 8-2 ATS, and we won some good loot. But that's in the past. Let's reset to 0.00 units earned and get after it this opening week:
 
Pitt @ Utah
8:30 PM EST
I'm going after the total in this one. Let's start with some numbers:
**Pitt was 7-3 ATS on the under last year
**Utah was 7-2 ATS on the under in lined games.
**Utah was an impressive 4-0 ATS on the under at home last year.
**Pitt was 3-1 ATS on the under in lined games on the road last year.
**Utah didn't allow more than 17 points scored in all of their games at home. Including against some offensive juggernauts.
 
New this year: Let's be honest, with Pitt returning only 9 seniors, they are going to pound the ball behind the Big East's best player Running back Dion Lewis. Their passing games was not in the top 50 last year and Utah's is even worse. Pitt will turn to redshirt QB Tino Sunseri as the man to run the offense. Utah has their signal caller back, but they never impressed through the air and will also turn to the running game and strong defense to win this game.
 
I like the under due to Utah's 22-1 SU record in it's last 23 at home. To be fair, they have never beaten an AP top 25 team at home but let's look at the obvious. Two strong running games, two strong defenses, a new signal caller for Pitt who Coach Waanstadt will not ask to throw all day. This game is a classic bruise fest and plays to both teams strengths, the defense. The coach's will limit the open offenses and play conservative. I'm a little scared of OT, but feel that the coach's are too good to create turnover opportunities. I'm rolling under gentlemen.
