Week 2 = overreaction week. Yes Pitt lost to a DII team, doesn't mean they are going to go winless this year.
Returning Starters in 2012 from Phil Steel
Team - offense-defense-st-total-conf
Pittsburgh 8* 5 2 15 BIG EAST
Cincinnati 4 6 2 12 BIG EAST
Pitt is returning their QB, and 7 other starting offensive players.
Cincy is returning just 4 offensive players and one is NOT their QB.
Pitt didn't have a hard time in their loss to Youngstown St. by way of scoring
Pitt's 2 turnovers (first week follies I call them) and Pitt's defense that lost the game.
Youngstown state returned 10 STARTERS ON OFFENSE!
Cincy is returning just 4. Against Pitt's 5 on Defense.
Cincy will also have their own Week 1 hiccups, (penalties, dropped passes, fumbles, etc.)
This has the makings of a LOW SCORING game.
I'd take the under first, then I'd take Pitt.
The Plays-
Under for 2 units
Pitt +3.5 1 unit
Pitt ML - .5 unit
I posted this in somebody else's thread and decided I'd make my own out of it to see what people thought
