Scouting report

Sprinkle's read:Pittsburgh +20.5 spread★★★

A dog getting 20.5 that keeps games closer than that

Pittsburgh are getting 20.5, and they have stayed inside that number in six of their last six. Miami have won by more than that in four of their last six, which is the worry.

The number

A loss by 20 or less still cashes; the bet is that Miami do not run away with it.

The decider

Pittsburgh are without Mason Heintschel at quarterback (out), and a quarterback change moves every number on this page. Pittsburgh's offense meets a Miami defense that has been stingy; the edge in that matchup belongs to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh score 32.9 a game and Miami allow 14.0.

The context

Weather: 21 mph wind.

Situational

Pittsburgh are missing Elijah Lagg (TE); Miami are missing Joshua Moore (WR), CharMar Brown (RB) — worth a notch of caution.

What breaks this

Miami have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference. Miami have covered a number this size in four of their last six; a fast start and this is a blowout.
