T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Panthers vs SMU Mustangs - OVER

I am on the OVER in the Pittsburgh Panthers at SMU Mustangs game on Saturday. The Panthers are a PERFECT 7-0 this season but will have their hands full here with this Mustangs offense at SMU. If you look at the Mustangs last 9 home games, they went 8-1 SU and averaged scoring an incredible 55.4 ppg in those 8 victories. That is NOT total points per game for BOTH teams. That is the average points scored by SMU which shows you just how potent this offense is at home. The Panthers, though likely to struggle on defense, should get their offense rolling against a Mustangs D that has allowed at least 27 points in 3 of last 5 games and allowed an average of 32 points in those 3 games. The Pitt offense had one dud against California this season but has scored an average of 44.8 points per game in their other 6 games! Both teams rank well defensively this season too but there is just too much offensive firepower on this Mustangs team and it is going for force the Panthers into a shootout in this game and getting well into the 60+ range should not be a problem as you can see from the numbers above.

T.M. Prediction: 37-30 SMU.

Line: O/U 56
