Opening line

10.5. Looks like biggest line of any Power Five game. Here's to Fitz and Co staying motivated, practicing hard, playing a great game, and beating the spread.

What was the spread for Pitt last year? I can't recall -- only remember that one ESPN commentator had more confidence that Pitt would win than any other bowl matchup. ESPN's FPI gives NU a 70% chance.

I think this team has found its mojo and shouldn't have a problem preparing.

Point spread has exactly zero to do with the team’s mentality.

In any previous bowl game were we a favorite, let alone double digits? Bowling Green?

We were either a pick'em or a couple-of-point favorites against Mississippi State.

no we were about a touchdown underdog that game.

This is the first time that we have opened as a favorite since the 95 rosebowl. The gator bowl we opened as an underdog, but by kick off the Cats were the favorite.

Game time we were a couple points fav, but we did start off as an underdog.
