Pittsburgh Panthers 2023 Season Preview

The Pittsburgh Panthers are entering the 2023 football season with optimism despite some major turnover on both sides of the ball. Over the last two years, the Panthers have recorded 20 wins and finished in the top 25 in consecutive seasons. Head Coach Pat Narduzzi has built a competitive squad, and they are looking to continue their success in the ACC. While the team will have a new quarterback in graduate transfer Phil Jurkovec, he brings experience and talent to the position. Jurkovec's connection with offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti Jr. could play a crucial role in elevating the offense, which aims to improve its passing game.

On the offensive side, Jurkovec will be supported by a solid supporting cast that includes running back Rodney Hammond Jr. and wide receivers Konata Mumpfield and Bub Means. The offensive line returns three starters, providing protection and stability for the new quarterback. Pitt's offense will aim to capitalize on the talents of their playmakers and maintain their upward trend from the past seasons. The key will be replacing the production of former star running back Israel Abanikanda, which will be taken over by Sun Bowl MVP Rodney Hammond Jr.

Defensively, Pitt faces the challenge of replacing several high-caliber starters, including ACC Defensive Player of the Year Calijah Kancey. However, the unit has a strong track record of player development under Coach Narduzzi, and the defensive line, known for its prowess in sacking quarterbacks, is expected to reload successfully. Linebackers Bangally Kamara and Shayne Simon are solid returners and will be crucial in leading the defense. The strength of the defensive unit lies in its cornerback position, with the experienced trio of M.J. Devonshire, Marquis Williams, and A.J. Woods returning. The defense will be focused on maintaining its aggressive play while adapting to the changes in personnel.

The Panthers' 2023 schedule includes notable matchups against teams like Cincinnati, West Virginia, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Florida State, and Syracuse. While their non-conference schedule poses some challenges, not having Clemson on the regular-season schedule might work in their favor. The ACC is known for its competitiveness, and the Panthers will have to bring their best game to remain competitive in the conference. An 8-4 season prediction indicates a decent chance for the Panthers to compete for a spot in the ACC Championship game.

Overall, despite changes on both sides of the ball, the Pittsburgh Panthers are poised to be a competitive force in the ACC during the 2023 football season. The performance of Phil Jurkovec, the development of the defensive unit, and the ability to navigate a challenging schedule will play significant roles in determining their success in the upcoming season.

Pitt Point Spreads

A spread bet is a way to bet on how much the Panthers will win or lose by. Here’s an example:

  • Pittsburgh +3.5 (110)
  • Virginia Tech -3.5 (110)

In this example, the Hokies are favored by 3.5 points, so a bet on Pitt would win if the Panthers managed to win the game or lose by three or fewer points. Virginia Tech would need to win the game by at least four to pay off for its bettors.

Pitt Over/Unders

An over/under, or total, bet is a bet on how many points both teams will score.

For example, if the Pittsburgh vs. Virginia Tech game has a 47.5 total, and the Panthers win 27-21, then the over wins. The under wins when the points scored between the teams is less than the total. If a game lands exactly on the number (think if the total was 48), then it's considered a push and all bettors at that number get their money back.

Pitt Moneylines

Unlike spread bets, where the margin of victory matters, moneylines are wagers on which team will win the game, by any amount. What’s different is the amount the bets pay to each side.

Here’s an example: When Pittsburgh is a +130 underdog, a $100 bet will pay out $230 ($130 in profit). When they’re a -130 favorite, it takes a bet of $130 to profit $100, for that same $230 payout. Moneylines are easiest to think of in units of $100 (or $10), but the math is the same no matter how you do it.

Pitt Props

For the fantasy football player, props are a great way to transition into betting. Proposition bets, or props, are a way to bet on an individual player. As an example, you could bet over or under on a wide reciever's yards, touchdowns, receptions and more, as well as bets on other skill position players.

Pitt Futures

Bets on who will win the Heisman Trophy are a popular example of a futures bet. Futures are bets on the entire season, either for a team or a player.
