Miami at Pittsburgh Prediction
The Thursday Night Football matchup between No. 19 Miami and Pittsburgh should be competitive, but what team is the right pick to cover?
Miami is a 3-point favorite on the road according to oddsmakers from online sports book BroburySports.com. The over/under has been set at 50.5.
Pittsburgh will look to control the game with its rushing attack, led by Dion Lewis, but the Hurricanes have held opponents to just 116.5 rushing yards per-game. If the Panthers can’t establish a running game, it will be up to Tino Sunseri to make plays and we don’t feel he can do that consistently. Pitt is giving up 254 passing yards per-game, which plays into the hands of Jacory Harris of Miami, so he can air things out and rack up the points for Miami.
A pick of Miami is also supported by the trends, which show that Pitt is just 5-7 against the spread in home games over the last three seasons while the Hurricanes are 7-3 ATS in non-conference games since 2008.
