Pitt QB Kedon Slovis, who transferred from USC, had some words for WVU at Pittsburgh’s pep rally prior to Thursday’s “Backyard Brawl”.
Slovis yelled “F*** West Virginia” while trying to get the fans pumped up ahead of the season opener.

#17 Pitt is currently a touchdown favorite over WVU and the Over/Under is set at (51). WVU is (+235) on the money line, while Pitt is (-292).
What may be most surprising of all headlines leading up to Thursday’s game is fan attendance for each team. ESPN fan forecast shows that 75% of fans at Heinz Field will be WVU fans, while just 25% will be the home (Pitt) fans. Could this have an affect on the outcome at all?

Regardless, it will be exciting to see these two teams go at it. Last time Pitt played WVU was in 2011 when WVU edged Pitt 21-20. What is y’alls prediction for the backyard brawl??
