Predictions and Betting Preview for the Pittsburgh Panthers vs Western Michigan Broncos College Football Game on September 17 2022
- Where: Waldo Stadium, Kalamazoo, Michigan.
- When: Saturday, September 17, 2022, 7:30 PM ET.
Betting on the Pittsburgh Panthers
- Regular season record: 1-1
- Spread: +10
- Moneyline: -375
- Over/Under: 47.5 Points
Pittsburgh Panthers defeated West Virginia by a score of 38-31 in their season opener and although they did not show much forcefulness, starting with a victory was positive, especially in terms of morale.
In their last game, taking the lead in the first quarter was of little use, as they lost 27-34 to the Tennessee Volunteers in overtime after a 27-27 tie in all four quarters. Although they lacked more offense, the defense left much to be desired in their two games and now they will have to correct their mistakes in order to win here.
Betting on the Western Michigan Broncos
- Regular season record: 1-1
- Spread: -10
- Moneyline: +290
- Over/Under: 47.5 Points
Western Michigan kicked off the season with a 35-13 loss to Michigan State, in a game where their defense looked sloppy, and the offense could do little against the Big-Ten East rival. They were able to bounce back last week by defeating Ball State 37-30.
In that last game, they were the first to score a touchdown and although at times they were outplayed by their opponent, they managed to score in all periods, scoring the most points in the last quarter. They will need the offense active in order to try to do damage in this matchup, as the opponent on the road has no similarities to Ball State.
JefeBet Prediction
Pittsburgh Panthers have a slight edge over their opponent, although the game may be more complex than previous games. A 10-point difference in the scoreboard is expected, but with the victory in favor of the visitor.
Prediction: Pittsburgh Panthers win 31-21.
