The Murray State vs Pittsburgh Game Prediction!
The Pick: Pittsburgh -11.5 -115
So, Pittsburgh is coming off a big 40-point win against Radford in their last game, and now they're playing at home. Murray State, on the other hand, had an easy win against a non-D-1 team, but that doesn't really prove much. I gotta say, Pittsburgh looked solid in their first game, shooting well and playing strong defense. I think they'll keep it up in this game too. My money's on Pittsburgh winning at home!
