Georgia Tech at Pittsburgh picks and predictions
Prediction
Pittsburgh 75, Georgia Tech 62
Moneyline
PASS.
Pittsburgh (-650) will cost you 6 1/2 times your potential return, and there is never a reason to bet a favorite so expensive. Even tossing Pitt into a multi-team parlay sucks all of the value out of your play.

Against the spread
PITTSBURGH -10.5 (-115) is worth playing lightly but go a half-unit at best.
The Panthers picked up an 11-point victory in Atlanta in the first meeting against the Yellow Jackets, easily grabbing the cover.
While Georgia Tech has covered the past 2 as a double-digit favorite, the Yellow Jackets are 3-4 ATS in the past 7 as underdogs of 9 or more points while Pitt has covered 9 straight as a favorite of 9 or more points.
Over/Under
UNDER 137.5 (-110) is the lean, but again, go lightly.
The Under has cashed at a 5-1-1 clip in the past 7 lined games for Georgia Tech while cashing at a 10-1 clip in its last 11 games on the road. It is also 4-1 in the Yellow Jacket’s past 5 games against winning teams, and the Under cashed in the first meeting against Pitt, too.
For the Panthers, the Under is 7-3 in the past 10 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of .400 or worse.
