Here, we take a closer look at Virginia vs Pitt from Pittsburgh in the ACC.

Virginia Hopes Idle Week Leads to End Of Losing Streak

The Virginia Cavaliers had an idle week last week and they hope that a week off will lead to an end to their recent three-game losing streak. The Cavaliers lost to North Carolina, Clemson, and Louisville in the three weeks before their idle week. Now, on the road against a one-loss Pitt team, Virginia is in danger of dropping below the .500 mark for the season with a fourth straight loss this week.

Can Pitt Bounce Back From First Loss?

Pitt’s undefeated start to the season came to an end last week, as they lost on the road to SMU by a score of 48-25. SMU dominated that game in the first half, taking a 31-3 lead over the Panthers, from which Pitt could not recover. This week, Pitt will look to get off to a stronger start to avoid a second straight loss that would likely take them out of any consideration of making the College Football Playoff.

Virginia vs Pitt Betting Pick

Our best bet for Virginia vs Pitt is for the Pitt Panthers to win and cover the spread at home to bounce back from their first loss of the season. Pitt is undefeated at home so far this season and they should keep it that way against a Virginia team that is in the middle of a tailspin, one that an idle week will not do anything to change.
