Saturday Blitz Vegas ACC Predictions Week 3
Pittsburgh Panthers at Florida International Golden Panthers
Line: Pittsburgh by 25
The Pittsburgh Panthers have a football team. And it’s a good one. With a very young group of players this year, many of whom returned from last year and are only sophomores, Paul Chryst’s third team looked like it had a bright future. But forget about the future, they’re ready to compete now. After a 200-yard rusher lead them to a big win against Boston College last week, the Panthers look to be firmly cemented among the better teams in the ACC. This week against Florida International they’ll look to run the ball with Conner more and rely on a passing game that is getting better to pull out the win.

Florida International had a nice blowout win against Wagner last week and will be looking to pull off the upset against the Panthers at home. To do that, they’ll want to keep this a high-scoring affair and force the Panthers into making mistakes, which they could be prone to doing. If that happens, this game could get interesting. If not, it will be an easy blowout in the Panthers favors that bodes well for the rest of the season.
Prediction
Pittsburgh will used a balanced attack, relying a little more on the running game, to win in a blowout. Florida International will try to threaten, but the Panthers are getting better at taking care of the football. They’ll have another great rush outing and a decent passing game for an easy win.
Pittsburgh: 48 Florida International: 14
