Pittsburgh arrives on a five game winning streak while Virginia Tech dropped their most recent contest. Getting three and a half points on the road for that kind of form looks very generous.

Why it might land
  • Pittsburgh enters this contest holding a sparkling five game winning run from their most recent results in the fixture block.
  • Virginia Tech stumbled in their most recent outing which stops their previous four game winning streak right before this matchup.
  • Bookmakers offer Pittsburgh three and a half points of cushion on the spread with matching prices of one point nine one.
Why it might not
  • Virginia Tech won four matches in a row before their recent loss so they remain a dangerous opponent at Lane Stadium.
  • Playing away from home in Blacksburg always presents a massive challenge regardless of how good the visiting team looks on paper.

Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes Virginia Tech Hokies the side to beat here at 53%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Pittsburgh Panthers +3.5, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. Pittsburgh arrives on a five game winning streak while Virginia Tech dropped their most recent contest. Getting three and a half points on the road for that kind of form looks very generous.

Form and momentum

Virginia Tech Hokies come in solid, winning 55% of 11 on record. 3 of their 6 home games went their way, and the numbers point to games at both ends, plenty of goals either way. Right now they are on 4 wins in a row.

Pittsburgh Panthers come in strong, winning 80% of 10 on record. 1 of their 2 away games went their way, and the numbers point to games at both ends, plenty of goals either way. Right now they are on 6 wins in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 53% for VT and 47% for PITT once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 1.91, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

Where it could go wrong
  • Virginia Tech won four matches in a row before their recent loss so they remain a dangerous opponent at Lane Stadium.
  • Playing away from home in Blacksburg always presents a massive challenge regardless of how good the visiting team looks on paper.
The bottom line

We back Pittsburgh Panthers +3.5 for 2 units. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.

Pitt plus the points at Tech?

Pitt is on a five game run and getting three and a half on the road while Tech lost their last match. That said, the hosts won four straight before that bump so Lane Stadium is still tough. The site m...
