If you want some quality free picks without the work, you have come to the right place! I will offer game analysis and picks on a daily basis. All picks will be researched and documented for your enjoyment. I would also like to invite you all to include your own picks/analysis.
Let's get started!
Both teams come in to this game with high expectations. Pittsburgh has been picked in most formats to win the Big East and Utah is looking to bust the BCS party by running the table. The motivation will be there for both teams as this game can make or break their season.
Intangibles: Utah is 17-1 @ home in the past 3 years. The altitude will have an effect on the game as Utah has been practicing in this altitude all spring/summer and gains a major edge here.
Matchups: Pittsburgh is starting 3 new offensive linemen on the interior of their line. Pittsburgh QB Tino Sunseri will make his first career start. Look for the veteran Utah defensive line to attack up the middle and disrupt the new QB/OL. Although Utah is only returning 4 starters on defense, they will take advantage of this weakness and make life difficult for stud Pittsburgh RB Dion Lewis.
The Utes return 8 starters on offense, however, they will face a strong Pittsburgh DL. Utah will try to spread out the Pitt defense and make some space for standout Utah RB Eddie Wide. Utah QB Jordan Wynn picked apart California in the Poinsettia Bowl last year. Wynn will be confident and poised against this tough defense.
The Pick: Utah -3
