Bucknell vs Pitt Prediction


In this Bucknell vs Pitt Prediction, Pitt is coming as -16.5 home favorites. Both teams are coming off defeats in their previous matches, as Pitt suffered its first loss of the season, but are back home where they have been undefeated. On the flip side, Bucknell has back-to-back losses but both teams have been playing some lower-scoring games to start the season, as they are 6-2 to the under in their total of 8 games played. Pitt has the 59th-best defense in the country so I expect a low-scoring affair. Take the under 143 points.
