Cincinnati U vs. Pittsburgh U College Football odds opened at Pittsburgh U -1 ½. This was a hotly bet on game with the line moving in Cincinnati U's favor to 2 points at SBG Global. Even so, close to 85 percent of the betting public was still backing Cincinnati U in this one.
The fifth-ranked Bearcats put their unbeaten record on the line Saturday at Heinz Field against No. 14 Pittsburgh. And the reward: The Big East's Bowl Championship Series berth.
"I wouldn't say it was easy to get to 11-0, but 11-0 is not going to matter if we lose to Pittsburgh, and the guys know this," said senior Mardy Gilyard, who caught two touchdown passes and ran back a kickoff for a score. "If we take care of business, the rest is up to the voters and the computers whatever else is out there, to figure out what we do with the postseason."
Scouts Inc. suggests that, while Cincinnati's offense has been a nightmare for opponents all season, Pittsburgh has the right formula for slowing down Cincinnati Quarterback Tony Pike and keeping him on the sideline.
From Scouts Inc.:
The Panthers will lean on the running game and play ball-control offense, which will eventually open up the play-action game and allow Baldwin to take advantage of voids in the back end. Pittsburgh will likely struggle to contain the Bearcats' passing game, but Cincinnati's lack of offensive balance will be its undoing. The Panthers will be able to generate pressure and stall enough drives to punch their BCS ticket in front of a home crowd.
