The “Backyard Brawl” rivalry resumes for the first time since 2011 when the Pittsburgh Panthers host the West Virginia Mountaineers. We're breaking down the betting with our West Virginia-Pittsburgh picks.
Fans of the Mountaineers and Panthers are excited that one of the most fierce rivalries in college football resumes after more than a decade.
Pittsburgh ended Clemson's streak of six consecutive ACC championships last year, and its 11 wins meant it won double-digit games for the first time since 2009.
Meanwhile, West Virginia looks for a fourth straight win in this rivalry and is out to improve from a 6-7 campaign, which was its third season under .500 since 2002.
