I was reading predictions from their writers on their site and the majority thinks Louisville beats Pitt. In all fairness, this is a pick'em game. One of the comments I found to be pretty funny from a poster is that "Louisville has athletes and Pitt doesn't".
What?!?!? I get that Louisville is talented on offense and yes they do have athletes, but please.....don't act like Pitt is Sister Mary of the Woods with a defense that will more than likely have half of them playing on Sundays in the future.
Here's the quote word for word:
"Nothing about that Miami game makes me think we cannot win against Pitt.
Unless there's a hangover, I see us as the favorite. Pitt isn't Miami. We have the athletes and they don't. Now last year we did win a bunch of those early "close" games that got out confidence a bit higher, so this has to be the week we are extra focused.
Clemson blew us out, we turned around and beat BC the next week. Miami dominated us, then we went and beat NC State & Cuse by double digits the next 2 weeks. UK handled us, but then we turned around and beat Miss State in the bowl game.
Scott is resilient & positive, I see the guys coming out ready. Now the defense has to step up and make plays. Last year we got pounded on D, but our guys would always make a big play. A forced fumble, a 3rd down stop, a timely pick, etc. If they just do enough, we win!"
