Pittsburgh vs SMU Betting Pick & Prediction – 11/2/2024

The Pittsburgh Panthers are facing off against the SMU Mustangs on November 2, 2024, with the Panthers coming in as seven-point underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The early betting action shows that 88% of spread bets are on the Panthers, while the Mustangs have 12% of the bets. The total has been set at 59 points. This matchup is shaping up to be an interesting one, with both teams looking to secure a win. Continue reading for our breakdown of Pitt vs SMU and for our best bet ahead of the game.

Pitt Looking to Remain Unbeaten

So far this season, the Pitt Panthers have yet to lose a game, going 7-0 overall and 3-0 in the ACC. Pitt is coming off of a 41-13 win over Syracuse in their last outing, in a game where the Pitt defense forced several interceptions from Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord. In this game, the Panthers will once again look to win the turnover battle to give themselves the upper hand. But that could be easier said than done against an SMU team that has a dangerous offense.

Can Return Home Help SMU Get Sixth Straight Win?

SMU is also ranked coming into Saturday's game against Pitt, as the Mustangs enter with a 7-1 overall record and a 4-0 record in the ACC. They have won five games in a row and will look to make it six against a Pitt team that has yet to lose a game this year. SMU has won three straight road games leading up to this game and they are hoping that coming back home will help them get over the hump against a Pitt team that has not shown it can be beaten yet this year.

Pitt vs SMU Betting Pick

This weekend's Pitt vs SMU matchup could be the game of the week in college football from a competitive standpoint. As far as a prediction for this game, we will take Pitt to cover the spread as a touchdown underdog. SMU could very well win this game and end the undefeated run of Pitt, but we expect this game to be close no matter who wins it, as it should come down to the very end.
