The SMU Mustangs opened as 6.5-point favorites over the unbeaten Pitt Panthers, according to FanDuel on Sunday. The over/under is set at 62.5 points. SMU is +172 on the moneyline with Pitt -210.

The ACC Huddle announced on the show live from Duke that they’ll be back in Dallas this week for SMU Homecoming game.

SMU’s fresh off an overtime win against Duke, 28-27, to remain unbeaten in ACC play and move to 7-1 overall on the season. Saturday’s matchup in Dallas is a battle of two teams vying for a spot in the ACC Championship game.

Pitt beat up on Syracuse on Thursday, winning 41-13. Pitt defenders Rasheem Biles, Kyle Louis and Braylan Lovelace returned first-half interceptions off Syracuse quarterback Kyle McCord for touchdowns to lead the way for the Panthers.

The ACC race continues to get interesting as the season goes along. Four teams in the league remain undefeated in league play entering Week 10. Clemson, Miami, Pitt and SMU are unbeaten, but that’ll change by end of Saturday.

For the Mustangs, it was a narrow win over a Duke team that entered Week 9 at 6-1 overall. Despite six turnovers on offense, SMU somehow came away with a win and Lashlee was happy about that.

“We all have nights when we’re not at our best, and we found a way to win,” Lashlee said. “Any great season, any championship run, anything like that that a team’s ever been on, you’re gonna look back and have one or two games that you’re like, we probably shouldn’t have won that one, but we found a way to do it, and so that’s what tonight was for us.”
