Pittsburgh has the better talent and more depth in the trenches. That should prove enough to cover this road spread.

Both teams were impressive opening week in dispatching far lesser opponents. But the Panthers were especially sharp beating Delaware, 62-0, amassing 409 yards rushing. Bruising sophomore tailback James Connor is in for a big season. He opened the season in style rushing for 153 yards and scoring four touchdowns.

Boston College rolled past Massachusetts, 30-7. The Eagles, however, have lost a number of key players, including 2,000-yard rusher Andre Williams. Tyler Murphy is their new quarterback, too, replacing veteran Chase Rettig. I remember Murphy getting his chance at Florida and not impressing.

Boston College has failed to cover 10 of its last 14 lined games in September.
