Pittsburgh vs Miami Prediction

The current betting odds have Pittsburgh listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Pittsburgh has been slipping up a lot lately but they finally bounced back last week with a big win over Duke. They only won that game by 2 points at home but they looked a lot better than they have in their games lately and they are getting a much easier matchup here. Miami has been terrible this year, they continue to lose their games but lately they have been getting blown out by a lot of points in their games against other conference opponents. Miami has struggled with QB issues all season too and their offense doesn't really put up a lot of points in their games while their defense has been giving up a ton. Pittsburgh moved the ball really well on offense in their last game and they will be looking to carry over that good play into this game. Pittsburgh has been a much better team the entire season and they are playing a lot better in their games lately than Miami is. The best way to place a bet here is on Pittsburgh to cover the spread in this game.
