Against All Odds: Pittsburgh SportsNation's Vegas Picks
By Mike Drakulich, Pittsburgh SportsNation
Presenting PSN's Vegas Picks, a weekly feature matching wits between myself and my dad. I choose the games and make my picks for the week, and my dad (MJD) agrees or disagrees. Each week we include the local teams, Pitt, Penn State, WVU, and the Steelers unless they are not scheduled.
As awful as the Steelers were last week, my picks were equally as bad as I went a paltry 4-6, and dear ole dad picked up a game on me by going one better at 5-5. I kind of knew deep down inside that I should've picked Pitt over Rutgers when I saw the spread, but I took a bullet for the home team, knowing full well if I picked against them they would find a way to make me pay.
Penn State is done for the season, and Pitt needs a victory over South Florida to become Bowl Eligible, and possibly face WVU in the Pinstripe Bowl in NYC. Wouldn't that be fun?
