A wild Backyard Brawl was topped with M.J. Devonshire 56 yard touchdown return with 2:58 remaining to give No. 17 Pitt a 38-31 win over West Virginia. However, depending on the number college football bettors got, it was a bad beat for -7.5 Pitt bettors. The first Backyard Brawl since 2011 was also a shootout as the total points 51.5 hit the Over.
The Panthers will host Tennessee at Acrisure Stadium on Sept. 10 at 3:30 p.m. Last September, Pitt beat the Volunteers in Knoxville 41-34.
In their season opener, the Volunteers crushed Ball State 59-10. Tennessee covered the huge 36-point line.
College football Week 2 odds and other lookahead lines are up now at Pennsylvania sportsbooks like BetMGM and FanDuel.

Players to watch for Pittsburgh

- Sophomore running back Rodney Hammond Jr. ran for 74 yards and 2 TDs. He left after being injured in the fourth quarter.
- John Morgan: Called a “one man wrecking crew” by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after his performance against West Virginia. And rightly, so. The defensive tackle had 4 tackles (three for a loss), a sack and a forced fumble.
Pittsburgh Panthers betting analysis and insight for Pittsburgh Panthers
Max Meyer, content writer for Caesars Sportsbook, spoke with Joey Feazel, lead college football trader at Caesars Sportsbook, talked about Pitt betting outlook for the season:
“Bettors have been really low on Pitt whether it’s for season win total or other futures,” Feazel said. “They lost [Kenny] Pickett to the NFL and [Jordan] Addison to USC, so they thought it’s not going to be close to the same team. But they still have Kedon Slovis coming in and a defense that should be really improved.”
