The Panthers escaped with a comeback win last week, but they can't be trusted on Saturday. The Bearcats, who were picked to finish 14th in the Big 12, botched that game in a big way. Pitt's mediocre performance in week one against Kent State looks even worse after the Golden Flashes lost to FCS St. Francis last weekend, too.

I believe the Mountaineers will cover the 2.5-point spread in the 107th edition of the Backyard Brawl rivalry.
