I'm going with West Virginia with all the public going on Pitt and several handicappers releasing this as a GOY which I never believe in anyway and have to laugh at I'm going with the West Virginia team that still remembers Pitt knocking them out of the National Championship game two years ago as 4 TD favorites.
Give me a healthy Noel Devine and West Virginia at home and I will bet them as under dogs all day long. This is one of the better teams in the Big East and they fought right with Cinci 24-21 loss. This is possibly the first time they had their defense they thought they would have on the field. They can handle and have the players up front in Chris Neild and Scooter Berry to stop the freshmen sensation Dion Lewis from Pitt. It's pretty simple stop Lewis and you stop Pitt. Pitt went on the road to NC State a team that has identical ranks to what West Virginia does on both sides of the ball and they lost by 7 points and were out gained by 114 yards on the ground. That is something that can happen with a healthy Devine on the field with 13 days of rest behind him. Devine gets some breaks here too with a nice backup Ryan Clarke can hit the holes which will give room for Devine outside. West Virginia is 6-0 at home this season and they have all the abilities to pull off this upset.
Just so you get what I am speaking of with NC State. NC State's Offensive ranks are 50th total, 21st passing, 88th rushing, 36th scoring, West Virginia 54th, 67th, 33rd, 57th. Not as close as the defensive numbers are NC States 52nd total, 54th pass, 56th rush, and 99 scoring, West Virginia possesses a better D 44, 64, 35 and the big key 32nd. This will be a low scoring game and in the end it'll be Jarret Brown getting out of the pocket away from that great pass rush to make some plays.
