Betting Trends for vs
The Pittsburgh Panthers have a very impressive win over Florida State, but they also have a bad loss at home against Nicholls, so the question will be which team shows up here. The Robert Morris Colonials have struggled to put up points this season as they are scoring an average of 58.5 PPG, and Pittsburgh has been solid on the defensive side of the court this season which leaves the Panthers with a clear-cut advantage. Ryan Murphy has been electric for Pittsburgh this season as he is scoring an average of 20.5 PPG, and the Panthers will rely on him throughout the season. Robert Morris was blown out by an ACC team in their recent game, and I don’t expect them to keep this game close. Final Score Prediction, Pittsburgh Panthers win and cover ATS 71-58.
