College Football Betting Trends
Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh has hit the under in 10 of its last road games and seven straight road games against a team with a winning home record.
Miami
Miami is 12-3-1 with the under in its last 16 conference games and in 10 of its last 14 games following a win.
Prediction:
The total is being set quite low, as Miami hasn’t given up a lot of points this year. They haven’t allowed more than 27 points this year. Pittsburgh has scored over 27 points in three of its last four games and has a really solid run game. However, I think the Panthers will struggle on the road against this Miami defense. The Canes have been able to hold better offenses in check this year. I don’t see Miami doing a ton on offense to help get to the over.
