SBG Global reports that early College Football betting has the public taking South Florida at Home.

South Florida has not had a lot of success on ESPN as they are 1-4 in their five national spotlight games including 1-2 on Thursdays.  The good news for South Florida is that Pittsburgh has continually underperformed under head coach Dave Wannstedt.  This will be another chance for Wannstedt to show that his team has turned the corner and can win. “I hope.
