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.
