Xavier Musketeers +7 -110

Pittsburgh Panthers -7 -110

Over 138½ -110

Under 138½ -110

Analysis: While Xavier has its share of athletes and is capable of beating almost any team in the nation, I fully believe they have their hands just a bit too full in trying to stop arguably the most talented team in the nation in Pittsburgh.

Sam Young, a gifted DeJuan Blair and steady Levance Fields, will be too much for the Musketeers to handle in this contest as Pitt pulls away with a fine second half performance to narrowly cover the spread.
